    Vitali Klitschko is finished with his next title defense, on October 16 in Germany against Shannon Briggs, he won't sit at the table with WBA champion David Haye. Instead Vitali wants to revisit discussions with Nikolai Valuev for a fight. Vitali tried to make a fight with Valuev for the last few months. Valuev rejected an original offer of $2.5 million dollars. He then turned down $1.5 million dollars but later agreed to accept the amount. After the two fighters agreed to the purse, they couldn't agree on the revenue split from the German and Russian television networks

    I am to assume that this came out of the recent press engagements Vitali is doing for the Briggs fight?
    Interesting, Vitali IS interested in cleaning up the HW Division...

    Its all talk, i remember vitali and wladimir saying they would never talk(fight)to haye again, when haye left from both fights, but they then talked again with him for a fight, when he won from ruiz.

    Vitali and wladimir both wanth that belt

    I like the Bros but the fight at heavyweight I'd like to see is Haye-Adamek.

    Both Klitschkos are at another level from the mere humanoids at heavyweight.

    Haye-Adamek would settle who is #3.

    that's because Klitschko brothers don't settle with the minimum, they want to have done it all.

    That's why he offered Haye a 50/50 worldwide split for a fight, more than Haye merits, actually. And it still wasn't enough.

    Vitali is leaving Haye for Wladimir. This is the fight everyone wants, this is the fight that makes the most sense.

    You are confusing the 2 brothers.
    The "*****" Haye refers to in his Twitter video is not Wlad.

    Haye is a twit on Twitter. I'm not confusing anything. The only "*****" in this scenario is David "Ducker" Haye.
