Briton ‘desperate’ for heavyweight showdown
Former WBA champion David Haye watched on as a dismal Manuel
Charr was easily dispatched by WBC king Vitali Klitschko and now hopes to be
granted a promised opportunity to put right the loss to his younger brother.
The 31 year-old, who stopped Dereck Chisora in July (a feat un-matched by Vitali in February), is on the hunt for another crack at a
Klitschko following his shot-shy loss to four-belt champion Wladimir last year.
The ‘Hayemaker’ wants to give ‘Dr Ironfist’ the challenge
previously unbeaten Charr could not manage in a poor fourth round defeat on
Saturday night at Moscow’s Olympic Stadium and believes he can stop the formidable champion.
“I was very disappointed with Vitali’s performance and I
would love to get in with him and knock him out,” Haye told The Daily Star.
“I saw so many holes in his defence. He would not last six
rounds with me.
“I would throw clusters of punches. Vitali is a warrior but
his chin is not better than my punch.”
The Bermondsey fighter is of the opinion that Klitschko struggled with
Charr, even though the German hardly threw a punch in the fight and sees the 41
year-old as his opportunity to regain the world heavyweight crown.
“His performance was terrible. He should be ashamed of
himself,” said Haye.
“Bernd Boente, the Klitschkos’ manager, said after Vitali’s
fight with Chisora that we should fight each other and the winner then fights
Vitali.
“I’ve done my part and I hope Vitali is a man of his word
and fights me. It will be the biggest fight in Germany and one of the biggest
in boxing history.
“It would be a huge fight and I want it desperately.”
Any potential fight will have to wait until Klitshko’s
attempt at being elected in the upcoming Ukrainian vote next month and Haye
will now doubt continue his verbal onslaught until the bout is sealed.
