David Haye has been forced to pull out of his proposed heavyweight title clash with Wladimir Klitschko through injury. The British hope suffered the problem in training ahead of the eagerly-anticipated bout, which is to be screened live on Setanta. It will be a heartbreaking blow for Haye, who championed long and hard for the opportunity to shake up the division by taking on the best in the business. His controversial tactics in goading the Klitschko brothers into action caused a stir but, ultimately, it secured him his crack at Wladimir on June 20. An independent verification of the injury is required before a decision on the future of the fight can be confirmed and a new date fixed for the Schalke showdown. The event was a sell-out in Gelsenkirchen and more details will follow on the breaking news when available. http://www.setanta.com//uk/Articles/other-sports/2009/06/03/Boxing-Haye-out-injured/gnid-55643/
I was so ****ing hyped for this fight :fire:fire:fire This news came out in the last 10 minutes so we should expect more info in the coming hours.
Or Setanta are crippled and unable to broadcast the fight? WTF is going on? This just cannot be ****ing real. :twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted:
i dont wanna start a conspiracy theory, but with setanta on the brink of going out of business and not wanting sky pv to have the fight, they pay haye to call off fight, setanta cease trading and then sky ppv it in 6 months? im massively disappointed if this is true tho and fight is off
****ing hell. Well I won't be going in the general forum for a while. I feel sorry for everyone who was travelling over. I hope the fight gets rescheduled.
