Adam Booth, and Bernd Boente, who advises the Klitschko brothers, recently took their negotiations public during Sky Sports' Ringside programme. Booth, who promotes and trains David Haye, is adamant that his boxer did his bit by settling a local rivalry with Audley Harrison via a third-round stoppage at the MEN Arena last Saturday night and that it is now up to Wladimir to put the final seal on a Klitschko-Haye showdown by “bashing up” London's Derek Chisora on December 11.
Paul Smith defends his British super-middleweight title against James DeGale at Liverpool's ECHO Arena on December the 11th in a must-win showdown that could see the winner moved towards world title contention.
