British heavyweight boxer David Haye could fight both Klitschko brothers as part of a sensational two-for-one contract being thrashed out by lawyers. Speaking to Setanta Sports News Haye admitted that the two-for-one contract was “being talked about”. He said: “To be number one in the world, to be the undisputed champion, I feel I’ve got to beat both of them anyway. That’s not a problem. I want to fight both of them. It’s down to the lawyers now.
London born Haye, 28, is due to fight Wladimir Klitschko at Stamford Bridge in June 2009. And Haye is confident that the fight will go ahead. He added: “The purse split and the terms have been agreed. It’s set to be the biggest fight in the world.
“I’ve got what it takes to knock him out. I’ve got his kryptonite..”
Skelton targets Haye fight
Commonwealth heavyweight champion Matt Skelton has called out David Haye. Skelton, who defends his title against Martin Rogan on 28th February, said he “absolutely would” like a shot at Haye.
Speaking to Setanta Sports News Skelton insisted his comments weren’t personal. He said:
“He seems like a nice fella. And technically he’s a very good fighter, but who he’s fought at heavyweight so far is not someone to be shouting about.
“But I believe whoever went on to win that fight between Haye and Maccarinelli would have got what’s happening now [the Klitschko fight].
“He’s moved up to heavyweight and I certainly think David Haye has capitalised on it.”
Skelton takes on Rogan at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham in three weeks time. And the champion is looking forward to a tough bout. He added:
“Martin can mix it up with the best of them. Hopefully the referee will let certain things go and we can have a good old tear up.”
