This content is protected Dan Rafael: (1:08 PM ET ) My good buddy Gareth Davies, who covers boxing for the Telegraph in the UK is reporting that Klitschko intends to go with another opponents on June 20. This content is protected Dan Rafael: (1:09 PM ET ) He said he spoke to Bernd Boente, Wlad's manager, who told him, "It is almost 100 percent certain that Wladimir Klitschko will go ahead with a defense on the same date as he would have faced David Haye."
confirmation as well http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ot...s-go-ahead-without-David-Haye-on-June-20.html
If an independent doctor says Haye is fine to fight on the 11th then they should. This content is protected Dan Rafael: (2:52 PM ET ) OK, here's the deal as of right now: The Klitschko camp has not even yet received a medical report from from the Haye side detailing the injury and saying whether he will able to fight on July 11. They are supposed to get a report later today, This content is protected Dan Rafael: (2:53 PM ET ) In addition, the Chagaev fight is NOT a done deal yet for June 20, only that HBO would not show it. This content is protected Dan Rafael: (2:54 PM ET ) Further, it is still down to this: either Wlad fights Chagaev on June 20 without HBO or he fights Haye July 11 with HBO. Shelly said the camp has NOT made any decision yet and won't until at the least the point where they see Haye's medical report.
They are not going to wait on Haye only for him to pull out again. They have already waited 6 months on him. Time to move on. :hi:
I hope they move on. Haye is not going anywhere, and 60,000 people are ready to rock on the 20th. HBO should be overlooked and Bonte go elsewhere with the fight.
HBO should air Wladimir's fight, he always has a big following from the crowd for his fights. If not HBO, Showtime should pick up the fight. I want Wladimir to fight Chagaev but I want to see the fight on HBO, it'll be for the Ring Magazine title, it should be aired.
