Both BBN and Boxing News are reporting this. From Boxing News Online: THE CEO of Golden boy promotions, Richard Schaefer, said on Monday that David Haye’s challenge of Wladimir Klitschko is going to happen in June with Germany the most likely destination. Schaefer told me the fight would be on in the evening European time, not in the middle of the night to cater for US TV, and added that he was more than 80 per cent of the way to striking a deal. He had been handed the reins to negotiate after talks between Hayemaker Boxing and the Klitschkos broke down. From BBN: I know, I know, we've been here before. But strong rumours have reached BBN that a match between David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko is very close to being confirmed. It is thought the contest will take place this June in Germany. Adam Booth, Haye's long term friend, trainer and manager is a notoriously tough negotiator and it appeared that the Klitschko camp had become fed up and drawn a line under proceedings. But, as they'd say in The Wire, 'it's all in the game'.
Yeah of course i am happy if this takes place in june i just want to see that wlad is giving him some respect too!
Haye will shock the world in a fight against wlad. He'll move in a manner inviting WK to throw his big right, thus eliminating the jab(to a point) and when WK gets a right off Haye will be too close to him for the power to be destructive, Haye all the while will be unloading to the body. Haye wins this fight by knockout in the 7th.
It does matter. In germany the atmosphere would be terrible. Us Brits wouldn't be let in for daring to sing.
If the fight goes ahead in Berlin thats not true,i cant speak for other cities in Germany but the 02 in Berlin has a fantastic atmosphere.There are also plenty of good bars around the city to watch the fight in.Big sports events create a great atmosphere all around the city.Also people would have no problem getting to and from the arena,the transport system in Berlin is very efficent and the 02 is situated very close to the station at Warschauer str. This station can be reached using many trains in the city.
If this is confirmed for Berlin in June then I'm going (if it isn't the weekend my missus mate is getting married - which it won't be because there is a UFC in Germany that night :deal)
BOUT ****ING TIME.... get the fight signed and hurry up and fight.... another 4 months of predicting who will win is a ****ing long time
My missus has told me that for my 30th she'll pay for my flight and ticket if the fight goes ahead - just needa bed for the night. GET IN!
I will be there for sure,it will be a good night.For anyone going Ryan air do cheap flights into Berlin you are better off booking a thursday flight out and a sunday one back,it always seems to be cheapest on Thursdays.They also do some decent hotel deals on thier website,you have to look through loads of pages but there are some really good deals.
A good hotel is winters city messe,cheap rooms and the night porter is a mate of mine and a big boxing fan.
