Vitali Klitschko Sees The Fear in David Haye
By Mark Vester
WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko is not buying any of David Haye's stories. He doesn't believe the British fighter was injured when he pulled out of his June bout with younger brother Wladimir Klitschko. Haye also withdrew from a September bout with Vitali - and the older Klitschko doesn't believe any of Haye's reasons for doing so. Vitali is convinced that Haye is running scared and wants to avoid facing either Klitschko at all costs.
"Haye is scared. In my personal opinion, he is not serious and it's not good for boxing," Vitali said. "I don't believe he had an injury. It was an excuse and he didn't understand the contract we signed with him."
Haye kicked Vitali aside to sign a deal to face WBA champion Nikolai Valuev on November 7. Vitali says Haye signed a deal to fight Valuev because the British fighter saw that as his best chance to win a heavyweight title.
"My personal opinion is he sees Valuev as his best chance of becoming world champion," Vitali said.
