David Haye has signed to fight Vitali Klitschko on 12th September

the story is 100% false. a few places already disputed it. vitali cant legally make any fight until the wbc thing is cleared or else everyone can get sued.

Well I don’t know I just posted it as it was on the Sun website, despite there reputation as being a crap paper they are normally fairly accurate when it comes to boxing, I don’t know if the report is true but I do know Haye is holding a press conference this afternoon to discuss what he is doing next.

Haye would have a chance against the "W"
But against the "V" i think he just doesn't have what is needed. His only hope is to not slow down and hits hard for about 12 rounds 'cause definitely he will outspeed Vitali and doing an "In/out" attack he may be effective.

I haven't read the report, is the 3 Klit fight contract still in effect?

i think ppl are going a bit too far with this "haye has no chance against vitali" ****. vitali hasnt impressed me since his return, if haye can get well conditioned and stop gassing i think he could beat vitali who is much slower and less skilled than his younger brother. even though the younger brother with a weaker chin and a weaker mind than vitali would be the best option.

It's a much easier fight for Haye. Wlad is too good a boxer for Haye, and too precise a puncher. Haye has an open amateurish style with awkward balance and inefficient punch delivery, which was going to lead to an ugly onesided fight against Wlad. Against Vit he might get to land a few punches on his way to getting beaten.

I don't think so, with Wlad, Haye might have been able to make Wlad feel very uncomfortable if he put intense pressure on Wlad and push Wlad back, which can be done. Wlad isn't that good at fighting going backwards, he either moves around or clinches, doesn't punch much when he's going back.

The way Vitali leans back and uses his height while going back will make Haye reach for his shots even more than he was going to do against Wlad and Vitali knows how to pop off straight punches down the middle while going back, which is when Haye is the most open, and Vitali doesn't fall in like Wlad does after he punches, the falling in that Wlad does would have given Haye some chances. I mean Wlad uses his height when he goes back but he does it standing straight up which would have helped Haye a little bit, the way Vitali contorts his body when he moves back, doesn't help Haye a bit.

Setanta are saying Haye is holding a press conference this afternoon to 'announce his future plans'. Hmm... I suspect nothing definite, then, unless Vitali happens to be in the country as well! Maybe everyone will be gobsmacked as it turns out that Chris Arreola gets out of the taxi instead...

lol at people taking the sun as a valid source

Yet another mess in the mud puddle that is the HW picture. It is getting more convoluted than an episode of Lost.

lol I am not i just posted the article. it just seems a bit odd as they gave an exact date for the fight unless they just made it up.

The Sun newspaper is reporting this morning that David Haye has signed to fight Vitali Klitschko on 12th September for the WBC heavyweight title, more news to follow.

Some Brits say The Sun is unreliable. I doubt if this is signed for yet.
