Isn't that something?

Per Fightnews:

David Haye has pulled out of his June 20 title challenge against WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Haye apparently suffered an undisclosed hand injury in training and wants six to eight weeks to recover. Klitschko will now consider a replacement opponent on the June 20 date which had generated a sold out crowd of 60,000+ at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. More to come…



I'm guessing Ruiz wants this one too.

From my understanding, Haye DOES want the fight pushed back as opposed to being scrapped, but it's Klitschko who prefers to fight someone else instead.

I don't think either one is scared of the other...Haye TRULY believes he can win and would prefer to face Klit with both of his weapons in perfect conditions...Klit, on the other hand, would prefer to still fight on the date he was originally training for. Can't really blame either one of them.

I WILL, however, be pissed if they decide to scrap the idea of the fight completely. I don't mind them not fighting in June, so long as they fight later in the year. If Wlad still wants to fight on June 20th to please the 60K+ fans, then hey, more power to him.

Personally, I have a better idea. Since it was in Haye's contract to fight BOTH brothers anyway, why not let Wlad fight on June 20th and Vitali can go ahead and face Haye 8 weeks later? That seems like it would work.

As for who Wlad should fight, just fucking feed him Valuev already. It's time for this damn division to start getting cleaned up.

I do hope and PRAY that they DON'T try to feed him the only heavyweight who stays in top condition all year round....Evander Holyfield. That just wouldn't be right.
