David Haye: "Wladimir is a Coward, I'm Done With Him!"

David Haye: "Wladimir is a Coward, I'm Done With Him!"

WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has branded Wladimir Klitschko a 'coward' and fears his hopes of fighting him are now over.

A bout between IBF and WBO champion Klitschko and Haye appeared close to completion for a summer bout earlier this week, but on Wednesday it was announced he will honour his agreement to fight Dereck Chisora on April 30 after a stomach injury forced the Ukrainian out of their proposed clash last month.

"We agreed to a date of July 2 at a venue in Germany with both Sky Sports and RTL and everybody appeared happy with the deal," said 'The Hayemaker'.

"We made a few concessions to remove past stumbling blocks and were happy to do so, as it finally looked like the fight would get made.

"Even through negotiations, though, it was clear Wladimir was looking for the coward's way out. He would often come up with new obstacles and problems to overcome, and I never once sensed he fancied it.

"He refused to come to England, wanted to pick his own gloves, enter the ring second, box out of the red corner and demanded a German doctor. He also wanted his name to feature first on any promotional material ahead of the event.

"We bowed to each and every one of his demands. I didn't want to potentially jeopardise anything this time around."

Although Klitschko has claimed a title showdown with Haye is still on for July 2 despite the Chisora bout, the Londoner remains sceptical he'll ever get the opportunity to fulfill his dream of becoming undisputed champion ahead of his planned retirement before his 31st birthday on October 13.

"It should never have come to this," said Haye, 25-1 (23 KO).

"I was available to fight in May and June, yet Klitschko only gave me dates of April 30 and July 2. The April date would be too close to Amir Khan's next fight, and prove problematic with Sky Box Office, so we settled for July.

"Klitschko claims he'll fight both me and Chisora, but it's nonsense. Are we expected to believe that a fighter who competed only once in the whole of 2009 and twice in 2010 is now going to box twice in a matter of nine weeks?

"A bout with me is the most lucrative, meaningful and dangerous fight Wladimir's ever had, not some throwaway tune-up. Wladimir won't fight anybody nine weeks after Chisora, let alone me.

"I now need to look for a fight of my own beyond April, as Amir Khan has that month tied up with his bout. Presumably Wladimir is expecting me to fight in either May or June and then face him in early July. It's ridiculous."

This latest twist in the Haye-Klitschko saga has angered the Brit more than any other.

"They demanded 50:50 right from the start and we eventually agreed and gave them all they wanted, despite the fact that our side brought three times as much money to the overall pot," said Haye.

"We had venues available for May and June, but Wladimir had no intention of ever coming to England.

"Unfortunately, he claimed he had no venues available in Germany for May and June and that's why we find ourselves in the situation we're in right now.

"If the fight doesn't happen now, it never will. I'm done with the Klitschkos. I know I can retire later this year with my head held high, knowing I did everything in my power to make these fights happen.

"I've had defining fights and beaten the best in the world as a cruiserweight, but, without me, Wladimir can never say he's done the same as a heavyweight."

:scratcher: ? ...isn't it done for July 2?

 

Haye needs to shut the fuck up. He's a nobody @ heavyweight. Go back to your hole Haye nobody gives a fuck about you you insignificant shit talker.

 

Let me get this straight... theyve agreed to a date, location, purse split etc.. but the fight is not happening because Haye says so ??? I dont think I need to state the obvious....

 

LOL looks like Wlad and Haye got two dofferent things out of that talk...

 

Haye is the much bigger name in England, and England produces more money, so I don't know why people are saying he's irrelevant in the HW division. There's a world outside of America, kids.

 

Haye had a walk in the park and has decided he´s ready for a fight against either brother.

 

I hate boxing.

 

Boy, do I not care.

 

Okay....I mean, as I said, fight will never happen. Haye used to want it, before he got the WBA title. I think his not being able to do too much with Valuev, and the fact that he could now make some $ regardless, has largely diminished the chaps desire to fight either Klitschko, and its basically a game of newspaper PR henceforth.

 

Something doesn't seem right though with the time gap between the Chisora fight, and then back at it on July 2,.. that's cuttin' it way too fine...:scratcher:

 

I literally just skimmed through this and saw the same thing you did

Forget the corner, the way the entered the ring or the gloves.
Why is wlad a coward for not fighting in england? What is haye for not fighting in germany

 

Seriously, we're now at the stage in boxing where neither of the two biggest fights in the sport by far can be made in the space of two years. It's more bent on it's own extinction than faggot Panda's.

 

Seems like Wladimir isn't threatened much by either fight and feels he can take both guys out within 9 weeks of each other. He's probably correct.

 

He did fight in Germany,.. but it was for a co-promotional deal in exchange for a paper-belt guarantee freshly stripped off Chagaev going for the unification fight, ....sign with us, run for 12 rounds, and we'll take care of the scorecards. We done sold Ruiz out for Valuev, and we'll sell him out for you baby. So daz what happened. :shit: WAR boxing, WAR heavyweight saviour.

 

Being in the ring with Chisora won't even constitute a fight. The risk is non existent.

In a sane world Haye would just take a tune up against some similarly hopeless nonentity (Tye Fields, Michael Grant or some shit) and they could co-star the PPv.

 

sad but true :Wah:

 

My man-tits giggled with laughter.

 

That's about the size of it.

 

I know that.
Im asking why he wont specifically fight wlad in germany

Why does wlad have to go to london?

 

Because....Germany has no economy, and England is loaded.

Yeah...and why did he only fight once in 2009 you cocksucker? You fucking signed to fight him then you pulled out. He then had to hastily arrange a 60,000 show to fight Chagaev, whose belt you went and then "won" in a shambolic snoozefest with Nikolai Valuev.

What Haye of course fails to mention is that from February 2008 to July 2009, Wlad had in fact fought 4 times, and when he beat Chambers in March of 2010, it was effectively 5 fights in a little over 2 year period.

How many fights did Haye have in the same 2 year period? 4 times. Against vastly inferior comp. But this is typical Haye. Disinform at every twist and turn, hope the Burberries buy it, fuck the rest of the fans.

 

Lol.

Haye is just scared.

 

I'm with Hut on this. Fuck everything.

 

Yes...but why should that be the case??? Why do the Klitschkos have to burden the embarrassment of Haye not wanting the fight? Surely people should applaud them for wanting it, applaud them for basically running this little shit into an early retirement? If Haye is so pivotal, so central, if he is so Floyd to Wlad's Manny Pac, then why is he not doing PPV in the States?

The man is a sideshow who thanks to the nefarious nature of the boxing business has been granted a rare opportunity to get a lot of money fighting relatively poor competition in front of an audience of fanboys, and had to give tickets away at that.

I'd prefer if he was regarded with the same contempt that many of the WBO champs of the early 90's were. A local hero with a fat lip and not much to back it up with.

Buy you just know the media machine will crank into action to wring the most out of this.:dunno:

Besides, whats his beef- fight Vitali instead.

 

Can somebody please translate why Haye doesn't want to fight Wlad and why Wlad is scared. I don't really understand why Haye is ducking him. From what i understand hes inventing reasons to duck Wlad now.

 

This is the top and bottom of it, although I have to admit that the circumstances of this latest non-event are odd. Nine weeks between fights IS very tight.

MTF

 

It's a sorry state of affairs when a guy can't fight 9 weeks after executing Derek Chisora. Is this really what modern boxing's come to when not only are guys not inclined to fight more than once or twice a year but effectively not allowed to?

Heavy mess, mon

 

Wlad should just call his bluff and cancel the Chisora fight. Maybe he could fight a couple of exhibitions in China or something if he wants to stay sharp.

 

After Haye had graduated from the Cruiserweight Class of 2008, he definitely had intentions of fighting WLadimir, no doubt about it. He even signed to take the fight but pulled out claiming an injury that never was.

W. Klit claims to this day that him and his people never received written medical confirmation of the injury or its nature.

I dont have a problem with this- Haye pulled out as the Anglo-Irish broadcaster, Setanta Sports, went into financial meltdown at the time of the Haye-Wlad fight, and Haye was guaranteed his money by Setanta, who entered receivership in the early Summer of 2009.

So that' was cool.

What happened then, that same Summer, was what can only be described as being, for Haye, the most advantageous convergence of circumstance and good fortune.

Wladimir, now lacking an opponent, offered the fight to Chagaev, who was due to defend his WBA title against Mandatory Nicholas Valuev in that veritable furnace of boxing tradition, Finland.

However, Chagaev had outstanding medical issues and that fight never came off. He signed then to fight Wlad, who needed an opponent for what was a sold-out show in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, in the home ground of Schalke 04. They play saw-kerr.

Chagaev was stripped of his title, Valuev was awared it, then Haye signed to fight Valuev, but before he signed to fight Valuev he signed over some of his promotional rights to Sauerland or something, and duly won a decision.

Since then he has made a lot of money fighting John Ruiz and Audley Harrisson, whilst pretending to want a fight with either or both Klitschkos.

Really, he is so happy with being referred to as "THE" World Heavyweight Champeen, and with the cash rolling in to fight John Louise and Fraudley, he doesn't feel inclined to take on Wladimir or Vitali. Even worse, he thinks that HE is the MAN and that he should get this, that, the other, in the event of any fight.

It's sad but it is true.
