to bad the haye fight is not going to happen according to Bernd Bönte but this is a good replacement instead of a fringe contender to fight on short notice, chagaev now has s few weeks to prepare for a southpaw..
i still pick klitschko for a 12 ud

Great to see this match happening,.....
Could be a tad boring , Wlad will be his usual self and Chag dosent have a big punch afaik.
This one's going the distance , which is rare in the H-W division.
Clinch-fest village I fear ....

but I'd love to see Haye and Arrelola meet ! that could be real spectacular. Arreola's team have been going public with their critisizm about Haye .... hope they're trying to build up a bit of hype for a match-up.

Can't believe klitschko bottled it with Haye, what a dissappointment, now all we get is to see two lumbering heavyweights hugging each other for 12 rounds :mad:

All this bull about tv schedules and other excuses from Klitschko is just laughable, everyone knows he is running scared of Haye.

Chagaev in most rankings, including the rings, is ranked directly behind the klitchkos and is ranked #3 for a reason...

wlad knows he has to chase him down and chagaev knows he has to swing to win so i really look for this to be a good fight

How did he bottle it? Haye pulled out of the fight with an injury.

Well this is great news really for the boxing world and unification of the heavyweight divison.

With the way the wba is i think we all just have to accept that they will have 2-3 belts on the go at any one time so in terms of an undisputed champ we will go with the guy who has the longer reign. Ie Chagaev.

If wlad wins he has the ibf,ibo,wba,wbo belts and vitali has the wbc. They have been speaking about fighting and I think it could happen.


Basically a Klitschko has to be beaten for a Klitschko to be undisputed champ, so it may as well be klitschko beating klitschko as opposed to someone else.

As for the wba Id say they will make the winner of chagaev-klitshcko super champ with valuev been super champ.

Edit: The undercard is unchanged and is set to include Micheal Sprott vs Alexander Ustinov, Jonthon Banks and Andy Lee and cedrc boswell vs tba.

I think Haye wanted to post-pone it till Septmbr but Klitschko wouldnt have it. He's on about that.

Just announced on newstalk

more details to follow

Didnt Changaev have a fight called off recently over medical issues related to blood

Is it Wise for him to be fighting if there is a risk to the other fighter

There is an innoculation available. Valeuv turned it down though.

Haye said give me 3 weeks, Klitschko said no, I'll fight the flat footed slugger who got refused a boxing license just 3 days earlier. What a joke.
