    Will David Haye step up and accept Wladimir Klitschko's challenge?



    link

    The challenge has been laid at Haye's feet. The question remains, will Haye accept the challenge. The Klitschko brothers have waged a family war against David Haye ever since Haye's infamous appearance where he wore a shirt that had the Klitschkos' headless and Haye standing over them.

    In addition to this shirt, Haye also backed out of a scheduled fight against Wladimir last June due to an injury.
    Wladimir has spent the last few months publicly berating Haye saying that David is "scared" and "bitching out". Wladimir even made his famous YouTube video calling out David Haye. David has yet to publicly counter these bashings.
    The latest word is that Wladimir Klitschko's reps has sent a fight proposal over to Haye. According to Boxingscene.com, Wladimir's manager Shelly Finkel said that they are proposing a fight in September or October somewhere in Europe.
    Klitschko's anger for Haye is so prevalent that he's doing everything possible to make this fight happen. According to Klitschko's trainer Manny Steward, he's never seen Wladimir so angry before.
    "Wladimir has never been this verbal about wanting a fight with any other fighter since I've been with him. Never has he been as angry with any fighter like he has been with David.
    Calling him, '*****,' and all of this stuff. David Haye has got Wladimir ramped up like I've never seen him. All of a sudden, Wladimir is talking back, and David has quit talking. Period!" Steward, Boxingscene.com
    Neil Higgins, Sacramento, CA "Is David Haye running scared from Wladimir Klitschko?"
    Like Steward said. Haye has stopped talking. It can easily be perceived that he's 'running scared' after backing out on their previous fight and not publicly responding to Klitschko's public berating.
    I don't think Haye is scared but I do think he has realized that he's got a serious problem in the form of one "pissed off Russian". I for one think this fight will be great and I hope that Haye accepts the challenge sooner than later. This will be one of the top heavyweight fights in the last decade.


    Do you think Haye will accept the challenge?

    I am expecting him to make some excuse about Wladimir's 'Demands'. I hope the fight does come off but I trully doubt that it will.

      I think Haye will. He knew by winning a title the fight would be even bigger and that he could ask for a better split.

      Throughout his career Haye has wanted to test himself i see no difference here.

        I hope it happens, but I'll only believe it when Haye steps into the ring.

              You must know about Wladimir making the video and calling out Haye.

                I doubt he will accept any kind of reasonable offer for this fight ( a VERY reasonable offer would be 60/40 split in wlads favor and a one fight rematch clause ).
                I call bull**** on Davids intentions of quitting soon. Hes gonna milk this cow for all its worth.

                  If they made him a fair offer, I think he will.

                    No, I am being swayed towards the notion that Haye never had any intent of fighting him.
