Any news on Wlad-Haye negotiations?

[The Hammer]

It Friday and I was hoping it would be decided one way or the other by today.

Anybody see or hear anything new about this? Last I heard on Wednesday Steve Bunce said it would be in the US, but I take anything he says with a grain of salt.

Will Wlad fight Arreola or Dimitrenko instead?

Next update we see will have the fight signed.

[IMDAZED]

I think if no agreement can be made by today, even with Schaefer helping out, Wlad should move on to Arreola or Dimitrenko.
I'd like to see Wlad fight three times this year. He's turning 33 in a few weeks and he'll only be in his prime for another year or two.

Of course you do.

[MANGLER]

This on and off **** took all my interest outta the fight. If it ever happens, great. Wlad KO. I'm just sick of em talkin about it and not signin it.

[Derranged_]

I've never heard Team Klitschko mention Dimitrenko as an opponent, just Arreola's name. Although I think a Dimitrenko fight is more competitive and entertaining, HBO probably doesn't...

From Wlad's Jan 30 interview with fight news:

Is David Haye a strong contender?

At having a big mouth. In the ring I’ll teach him good behavior! He won’t last for twelve rounds in the ring.

You have another fight with IBF official challenger Alexander Povetkin. Are you ready for that?

Now there can’t even be conversations about Povetkin. He could have fought me on December 13th but was injured. Now I’ll choose other contenders who are interesting to me. Povetkin is not included in this number.

How about WBO #1 rated Alexander Dimitrenko?

I’m ready to fight with Alexander Dimitrenko. And for me it’s not important that he too is Ukrainian. For me, the nationality and color of the skin is not important. I’m ready to fight with anyone they select to challenge for my title.

Since they can't do Cambridge then New York or Germany should be alright. Adam Booth is always gettin dissed in negotiations like when Hay didn't show up to the Macc press conference, Monte not having a nice hotel, Klitschko's sayin dude wants too much money.

Next update we see will have the fight signed.

I think if no agreement can be made by today, even with Schaefer helping out, Wlad should move on to Arreola or Dimitrenko.

I'd like to see Wlad fight three times this year. He's turning 33 in a few weeks so he'll likely only be in his prime for another year or two.

[Love Tunney]

I still wish Haye was fighting Vitali, that is a fight I would have loved
to have seen, even though it wouldn't have lasted very long.

[PittyPat]

If this fight doesn't happen, I would really like to see Wlad take on Dimitrenko. Whether he'd fight someone after that and before Povetkin remains to be seen, but if he wants to keep busy it shouldn't be a problem for the champ. Maybe Arreola in between.

And after the VitMan finishes Gomez (which is by no means a certainty, but let's assume that it is), he should seek Chagaev/Valuev and not give in until they give him a fight. I absolutely must must MUST see that!
