Has Vitali Klitschko been avoiding David Haye since seeing Chisora get knocked out?

[FlatLine]

When Vitali beat Chisora he told Haye during the post-fight press conference that if Haye beat Chisora then himself and Haye would fight next. Haye went on to take up the challenge and soundly defeated Chisora by KO, it has to be said in a much more impressive and conclusive performance than Vitali's.

So the stage was set, Vitali had promised Haye a fight if he beat Chisora, Haye did just that and carried out his part of the verbal agreement. Two of the best heavyweights today were about to square off in the ring. But, quite disappointingly, Vitali hasn't fulfilled his part of the deal yet. He told Haye face to face on camera he'd fight him if he beat Chisora, but now we're hearing stories about Vitali not even being interested in facing Haye.

Is Vitali avoiding Haye because he longer believes he can beat him, or that it would be too tough a fight to take? Why won't Vitali Klitschko fight David Haye?

They both have different stories so who do you feel is the more honest man, Vitali or Haye?

I know who I'm inclined to believe.

Well certain truths were recorded on camera, like Vitali telling Haye if he beat Chisora he'll fight him. That's not really down to who's the more honest man because there's video evidence to support it.

As far as trusting a boxer or a politician.. tough choice..

I just wonder what happened to him wanting to teach Haye a lesson

where is the "Haye did nothing to deserve another Klitchko fight after loosing every round against Wladimir" choice?

I believe it was Boente who said that, and if you believe VK he'll say offers were made to Haye which were turned down.

lol don't come with that, Vitali is hardly a hardened politician.

Afaik VK's view is that he's tired of Haye turning down his offers.

Is that really a valid argument? Wladimir and Vitali are two completely different fighters. But if you want to use that as some sort of argument then I'll ask you why did Wladimir fight Samuel Peter in 2010 after Vitali already made him retire on his stool in 2008? Exactly. Because they are two different boxers.

Boxing isn't a tournament or a league, boxing survives by giving the fans fights they want to see, the fans are the ones that judge if someone is deserving.

Ok, so what happened to "It's personal, it's not about money."? If that were the case this fight would have been made. But Vittles wants the lions share, options and everything else he can get. We all know to Haye its about the money. So if VK really wants this fight than make him a good offer and than go public with it. This way neither side side can accuse the other of lying.

and as a boxing fan, I don't think Haye deserves a Vitali fight. I base this on his non effort vs Wlad
