Full statement from David Haye

We agreed to a date of July 2nd at a venue in Germany with both Sky Sports and RTL and everybody appeared happy with the deal, We made a few concessions to remove past stumbling blocks and were happy to do so, as it finally looked like the fight would get made.

Even through negotiations, though, it was clear Wladimir was looking for the cowards way out. He would often come up with new obstacles and problems to overcome, and I never once sensed he fancied it.

He refused to come to England, wanted to pick his own gloves, enter the ring second, box out of the red corner and demanded a German doctor. He also wanted his name to feature first on any promotional material ahead of the event. We bowed to each and every one of his demands. I didnt want to potentially jeopardise anything this time around.

It should never have come to this, I was available to fight in May and June, yet Klitschko only gave me dates of April 30 and July 2. The April date would be too close to Amir Khans next fight, and prove problematic with Sky Box Office, so we settled for July.

Klitschko claims hell fight both me and Chisora, but its nonsense. Are we expected to believe that a fighter who competed only once in the whole of 2009 and twice in 2010 is now going to box twice in a matter of nine weeks? A bout with me is the most lucrative, meaningful and dangerous fight Wladimirs ever had, not some throwaway tune-up. Wladimir wont fight anybody nine weeks after Chisora, let alone me.

I now need to look for a fight of my own beyond April, as Amir Khan has that month tied up with his bout. Presumably Wladimir is expecting me to fight in either May or June and then face him in early July. Its ridiculous.

They demanded 50:50 right from the start and we eventually agreed and gave them all they wanted, despite the fact that our side brought three times as much money to the overall pot.

We had venues available for May and June, but Wladimir had no intention of ever coming to England. Unfortunately, he claimed he had no venues available in Germany for May and June and thats why we find ourselves in the situation were in right now.

If the fight doesnt happen now, it never will. Im done with the Klitschkos. I know I can retire later this year with my head held high, knowing I did everything in my power to make these fights happen. Ive had defining fights and beaten the best in the world as a cruiserweight, but, without me, Wladimir can never say hes done the same as a heavyweight.

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
Hayes is full of so much ****, one of the reason he only fought once in 2009, was cause hayes, wlad was going to fight in april, an then hayes kept saying they would fight in may, then it went to june, then after that a hayes was in talks with him, an then HBO threw a wrench into end of year boxing plans of wlad

I hope wlad sticks to his guns, fights in april, an then again in july, an if it happens to be somone besides hayes in july, so be it......Like hayes gives a **** if wlad comes in the fight over trained:yep:yep

If i was wlad i would put out a press release stating that he going to fight april an july 2, an if hayes does not want to be the guy, he will set up somone else. I don't care, just don't let hayes win this mental battle, which all this is.... even if it is a rematch with chambers, at least your fighting for your FANS, not hayes
