Wladimir Klitschko has insisted that he can still fight David Haye on July 2nd following his bout with Derek Chisora on April 30th.But IBF, IBO AND WBO Champion suggests that he won’t need long to prepare to fight David Haye.
The Ukrainian said, "I don't need a half a year to prepare for Haye.
"Me fighting Chisora first is good promotion for the fight because the guy is also British and very loud."
Haye says he will retire this year, but only having Nikolay Valuev in 2009 & Audley Harrison in the third round in November as his biggest victories in the Heavyweight Division. Haye would like to add either Klitschko’s to that list, but the Britain feels Wladimir won’t fight so soon after the Chisora fight should a date be agreed?
Haye said, "A bout with me is the most lucrative, meaningful and dangerous fight Wladimir's ever had, not some throwaway tune-up," said the Londoner.
"Wladimir won't fight anybody nine weeks after Chisora, let alone me."
But Wladimir Klitschko insists that if David Haye offers his mandatory challenger Ruslan Chagaev step-aside money, then the Ukrainian would be free to fight Haye."I don't take David Haye as a super-special fight. I'm always in shape anyway. He could give Chagaev step-aside money and then I'm going to be there with nobody to fight.
"Because of our history before, I would fight him on 2 July and we would work on the contract, but I would fight Chisora first.
"There have a been a lot of lies from David Haye and [trainer] Adam Booth. We found a date, 2 July, to fight him, but I don't trust these guys any more."
Klitschko feels both David Haye and trainer Adam Booth have been lying and playing the media game.
Haye said last week that if Klitschko did not fight him before he retires, the Ukrainian would be forever linked with a failure to take him on.
Klitschko added, He's telling everyone 'I'm going to retire by the end of the year and I will have my legacy'. He's going to have a legacy for the Audley Harrison fight - the most exciting heavyweight fight in history.
"He has no legacy whatsoever. He has this terrible disease and he has to retire? What is that? This is total nonsense. He is playing the media.
"He will not retire because he's a liar, liar, liar. From the beginning to the end, he's a loser liar. That's the truth about this man.
"David Haye has accomplished nothing in the heavyweight division other than to present himself with his stupid T-shirt and comments.
"This guy will eventually fight me."
