He just said on BBC 5 Live he will be fighting Vitali Klitschko in June.

Hope this is true. Haye by 6th round KO.

Says the English hopefull.....

But then again, Vitali aint getting any younger.

No way it was worked out that quickly, because Gomez needs to accept step-aside money.

Negotiations for this will not be simple. You have Gomez's cut to factor in; they need to work Showtime against HBO to get a few mil from an American network. RTL needs to decide something, since the German TV rights will be significant. Then there'll be a venue issue.

This will take months.

Oh ****. Silly man, his testerone and pride has just got him a loss.

Shame cos he coulda beaten Wlad at least.

Yes, Haye is so excited about it he can't wait until its official to announce it.

wow, vitali against sum1 who is gonna move round the ring. Haye KO round 10!!

[Welter_Skelter]

I will wait for Official press on this.. before I believe this..

[Kris Silver]

True about the Gomez issue. In Hayes interview on youtube today, he said that has to go to purse and is not guaranteed. In the same sentence he says we think we can work out a fight with Vitali tonight.

One of those where I'd rather see a mandatory respected. Wlad has a nice gap of time before his mandatory and was Hayes target for ages. No reason why Vitali should be put in there first.

haye will suffer facial fractures and get ko'd by round 6
