"Let's talk in the ring with the fists," Vitali told BBC World Service. "He is injured, he has a big mouth but this fight will be very interesting. I want to see him in the ring," he added. "I don't fight for myself - not for me - I fight for boxing. We are discussing the details right now about the time and I think in September it can happen."
Haye's manager Adam Booth said the fight was possible for September if Vitali was serious.
