WelshDevilRob Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Booth was told that Wladimir, the IBO/WBO/IBF champion, is still struggling with a stomach muscle injury, which caused him to withdraw from two scheduled dates with Dereck Chisora. If Wladimir is not physically ready by the first week of May, then Haye will face older bother, and WBC champion, Vitali Klitschko, who barely broke a sweat in Cologne when he stopped Odlanier Solis in one round. Bönte has already announced that Vitali wants to return by June. "Third week of April we will make an announcement," Booth said. "By the first week of May, Wladimir will have to tell us if he is fit to fight." Source: www.boxingscene.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I want this to be Wlad just so Haye has no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I want this to be Wlad just so Haye has no excuses. Too late, Gav. Haye has already caught the EA Sports Fight Night cover curse - whoever appears on there ends up getting battered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynbrawler Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm 99% certain he'll string this out and Vitali will end up facing him. He'll take the lighter option in Adamek, come September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Would love him to end up with Vitali, would actually make me sure that the K Bros were messing with him the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ko Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wlad better not bottle out. I actually think Vitali is easier to beat, I do think his punch resistance is as good but still really tough to beat. Vitali is there for the taking has been since the Kingpin fight.

Skav Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm 99% certain he'll string this out and Vitali will end up facing him. He'll take the lighter option in Adamek, come September. I don't think Adamek is a walkover for any Klitschko brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Adamek is a walkover for any Klitschko brother. He'll be easier for Wlad to beat than Haye, because he doesn't pack the same power and therefore isn't as big a risk. He can use his size advantage to jab that one out, while Haye will undoubtedly have the "puncher's chance" and more. Wlad's chin will get a far bigger testing against Haye than against Adamek. Not saying it's an easier fight, just less risk of him being sparked out early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
