‘Hayemaker’ has until December to agree Vitali bout
Former two-weight world champion David Haye has less than two months to decide on whether a final fight against WBC champion Vitali Klitschko is worth his while after announcing his intention to the BBBC not to renew his boxing license.
Haye, who turns 31 tomorrow, is licensed to box by the British Board until December this year and would need to extend this license in order to meet Klitschko, 40, in a challenge for the WBC title in February or March next year.
Klitschko’s manager Bernd Boente has already stated that a press conference to announce the fight would have to be in place shortly after Vitali’s brother Wladimir defends his collection of belts against former Haye foe Jean-Marc Mormeck on December 10th in Dusseldorf and before Christmas.
That gives Haye just under two months to agree to what is rumoured to be a significantly lower offer than when he lost to Wladimir in the summer as the Londoner has no world title to bargain with and is in need of redemption following the failure to back up his pre-fight words in Hamburg.
Any agreed fight will take place at a football stadium with a roof in Germany and all other possible venues seem to have been ruled out by Sauerland.
