Fight With Vitali Will Go Ahead Says Haye



After the collapse of his bout with Wladimir Klitschko, David Haye is certain a September 12 bout with Vitali, Wladimir's brother, will go ahead.
Speaking to Steve Bunce, former Undisputed Cruiserweight champion of the world Haye said,
"This fight is closer now than it has ever been, I'm confident all the people involved will agree terms in the near future. It would be great if the fight was live on the BBC at 10 on a Saturday night. When the Klitschkos fight in Germany over 12 million people watch and I would get the same for such a massive fight."

Despite this assertion, Haye's manager Adam Booth feels that the BBC is not showing any interest in what would be one of the Heavyweight divisions biggest fights in years,
"It seems the BBC can find money for private flights and iPods but not a great British sporting event like this."
