What happened to arreola?

If Wladimir KOs Haye, it will be Povetkin and then Arreola.

im glad the fight is happening but it does piss me off that they arent fighting until june. imo, fighters should be getting in three fights a year(esp champions)

Blame it on Haye, when it is upto Wlad he always fight thrice a year.

Wlad said he planned to fight three times this year.

I think he's giving in to too many of Haye's demands.

According to a report in The Sun, David Haye has agreed to fight WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on June 20, with Stamford Bridge, which can hold 100,000 fans, being the rumored venue in the UK. [details]

Wonderful! A heavyweight fight, that's getting some good buzz going. Great for boxing! I wish the champ , and the challenger the best of luck.

[SK Champ]

Should be a good fight, hopefully it brings a little action back to heavyweights. I have Wlad by late KO

i think this is a horrible idea!! Hear me out

If i were Hayes promoter i would set him up with lesser opponent maybe some top 10 or famous names first to get his name some attention.

i would set him up with the likes of Rahman, Toney or Tony Thompson and then set him up with a tuneup fight so people start to know the guy.

His style is excting to watch so hes going to get some attention.

The when hes had a couple of HBO or Showtime fights then bring out the PPV extravaganza Vitali or Wladimir vs. Haye.

But now think about this.

A) He faces Wladimir and lets say he gets KO. Then hes never heard from again (by the way this is for the American public im refering to).
or
B) He beats Wlad and the only ones who saw the fight were the already Boxing established fans. Plus the fight wont even be on PPV cause Haye is not even known over here to the casual fan

I as the a promoter would set Haye up vs. James Toney here in the USA on HBO on April then set up with Tony Thompson or Lamont Brewster in August in another HBO fight.
Then Finally the PPV showdown vs. Wlad
