Should Vitali & Wladimir be thanking David Haye?

No, not because he single-handedly propelled their profile in Europe and gave one of them the healthiest payday of his career, but because this Saturday he’s about to do the job they couldn’t – catch and stop the volatile Derek Chisora?

For those that don’t remember, Derek Chisora went on a two-year rampage of:

• Scaring Wladimir out of not just one, but two fights - one in which Wladimir breaks his back in trying to escape. (see appendix A)
• Publicly humiliating and leaving Vitali with a sore cheek in his backyard in front of his people, whilst no one could (or dare to) do a thing about it. (see appendix B)
• Spraying water, mixed with his own saliva, into the face of Wladimir; making him lick and taste every drop. (see appendix C)

No doubt the Klitschkos were left seething. After two years of torment from Chisora and finally facing him in the ring, they couldn’t even put a dent in his armour – even after 12 full rounds infront of their home crowd. The Klitschko legacy was on the verge of deflation from the persistent acts of a bandana-wearing Brit.

Until a miracle, in the form of a familiar shadowy figure at the back of a crowded room, came a long.

Chaos and mayhem ensued. In mere seconds, David Haye done what the Klitschko brothers couldn’t do in two whole years. He challenged, trapped, and caged the unstable Chisora with just one right hand and a few well-placed elbows; temporarily relieving the Klitschko brothers of the fear and anxiety that was gripping them during the press conference.

Now, like a vampire hunter wielding a stake and cross, David Haye sets to finally put Wladimir and Vitali’s nightmare to a permanent end.

So, if David Haye beats up Derek Chisora, should Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko be forever grateful?

Bro, let's just assume Haye does a number on Del Boy....

?

 

I know. 12 full rounds, and zero times Wlad had Haye hurt or in trouble. Too slick, too black.

 

You mean against Chisora?

Yeah - no doubt! Sometimes great deals of stress and anxiety can lead to forms of physical injury. I have no doubt in my mind Chisora was the cause of that.

 

That's what it is, man. You don't release a kitten to deal with a wolf. You release another wolf!

 

That's actually a really good point. I agree with that.

 

Yeah, to be fair Vitali does deservedly hold all the power at the negotiations table. But at the same time I don't blame Haye if he refuses a slave contract.
