The Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir, might have to flip a coin to decided which of them will fight David Haye first. The three fighters own all of the major titles at heavyweight. Wladimir defends his WBO/IBF/IBO titles against Eddie Chambers on March 27. Haye defends his WBA title against John Ruiz on April 3 and Vitali defends his WBC title against Al Sosnowksi on May 29.
The two brothers went back and forth on which of them will fight Haye first. Vitali is pushing Wladimir to stay back because he wants to get the first crack at Haye.
"I told my brother, 'I want to fight Haye', but he said no, he wants to fight him. For him it is personal, but for me I want the title. My brother already has two but I have to clear it with him. I really hope he listens to his older brother," Vitali told CNN.
"Always you need motivation and the motivation is to have all the titles in the family. Everyone wants to see a unification. Champion against champion. Haye has the choice, one of the brothers Klitschko."
Vitali hopes Haye is going to target him first because he's the older of the two brothers. He wants to get the British champion in the ring to bust him up. Wladimir is also pulling for a fight with Haye. The only way to decide is to have a coin toss, says Vitali.
"I'll tell Haye it's easier to beat me, because I'm older and I don't have as much energy as my brother. I keep my fingers crossed that he beats Ruiz. Not because I like him, but I want his title and to shut his mouth," Vitali said. "Maybe we decide by coins who fights him. Let's hope my brother listens to me. He must always respect old people."
