After the disappointment of missing out on a world heavyweight title challenge, not once, but twice, British and Commonwealth champion Dereck Chisora will now have heard David Haye’s manager Adam Booth announce a deal is in place for a bout with Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO's) less than a day after his bout was cancelled.
Chisora, 27, was due to meet WBO and IBF champion Wladimir in December originally, only for the Ukrainian to pull out injured, leaving Chisora devastated. Then Wladimir started negotiations with Haye’s management, only to u-turn and offer Chisora a second chance, stating his promise to the Briton would be fulfilled.
It now looks like money has won the day over integrity as Haye and Klitschko have agreed all terms for the summer unification, bar the date and venue. The bout has been slated for either June 25th or July 2nd and will most likely take place in Germany, Klitschko’s adopted home turf.
Londoner Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) is running out of time in his quest to unify all four titles before his imminent retirement in October and hopes to entice Wladimir’s brother Vitali to agree to a bout in September or October if he can rip Wladimir's two titles away this summr.
