British heavyweight David Haye will eventually fight Klitschko, only it won’t be the IBF and WBO champ Wladimir, but his elder brother, WBC belt holder Vitaly, German Bild daily reports.
According to the newspaper, the HBO channel has scheduled the broadcast of the bout between the boxers on September 12.
The possible venues for the match are three football arenas in the German cities of Gelsenkirchen, Frankfurt am Main and Düsseldorf. The capacity of the stadiums varies from 53 to 60,000.
David Haye, who declared a PR war on the Klitschko family, was to face Wladimir Klitschko, on June 20. But the much anticipated fight didn’t take place due to the British boxer’s injury.
Recently, a court decision has freed Vitaly Klitschko from his obligation to defend his WBC title against Russian Oleg Maskaev, which means he has the full right to choose his next opponent.
Earlier, Vitaly said he’s interested in a fight with ‘Russian Giant’ Nikolay Valuev, who holds the WBA belt.
