Haye confirms Klitschko talks
November 29, 2011 09:48:13 UK
David Haye, who announced his retirement from boxing last month, has said that he is in negotiations with Vitali Klitschko about a world heavyweight title fight.
The British fighter was beaten by Vitali's brother, Wladimir, in a WBA heavyweight championship bout in Hamburg in July, in what was thought to be the 31-year-old's last fight.
I haven't seen a contract but there's definitely talks going on.
David Haye
Haye claimed at the time that his chances of victory had been hampered by a broken toe and he is now looking for redemption.
The former undisputed cruiserweight champion says he has lowered his pay demands in order to push through a deal for a fight, admitting he no longer deserves a 50/50 split of the purse.
One of next month's big fights is the battle between Amir Khan and Lamont Peterson. Khan is 1.083 to win the bout while the American is 8.00 to emerge victorious in the WBA and IBF light-welterweight title fight in Washington DC on 10th December.

"I haven't seen a contract but there's definitely talks going on," Haye admitted. "I said before I retired I'd love that fight and there's a date in March that's already been talked about.
"I said I'd want to fight Vitali, the big brother of Wladimir, who beat me in my last fight. They're the only guys I'd consider coming out of retirement for."
