WBO/IBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, and WBC champion Vitali Klitschko, are not looking to retire until they obtain the WBA title which is currently held by David Haye. For one reason or another, neither Klitschko has been able to get Haye in the ring. In 2009, Haye reached separate agreements with both brothers, and later withdrew from both fights.

“My brother and I have always stated that it is our joint ambition to hold all four major heavyweight belts and create sporting history,” Wladimir explained to SportsVibe. “We have three and David Haye has one, so either he fights one of us, or he retires and we then beat whoever is put up against one of us. What is for certain is that neither Vitali nor I will even think about quitting until we have all four belts.

Wladimir doesn't see himself fighting Haye in 2011. They were close to a deal in January, but the negotiations fell apart when Wladimir signed a deal to fight Dereck Chisora in a keep busy fight in April. Besides Chisora, Wladimir finalized a deal to fight Tomasz Adamek in September. For his part, Haye is threatening to retire from boxing in October, but Wladimir doesn't believe that will happen.

“With Chisora and then possibly Adamek it’s unlikely the fight can take place before the end of the year at the earliest, but I’m not going anywhere and I suspect, even though Haye says he will retire, that he cannot afford to quit boxing before he has fought me," Klitschko said.

“Why do I say that? Because does Haye really believe his legacy will be the Audley Harrison fight? That was the most exciting three rounds of boxing in the history of the sport, wasn’t it? If that’s how Haye wants to bow out then he’ll be betraying his fans and his legacy will be that of a loser if he never fights me.”
