Haye vs Klitschko postponed

Posted by angryfightfan on June 3, 2009

Boxing fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the most anticipated Heavyweight fight since the days of Lennox Lewis as David Haye has been forced to pull out of his June 20 clash with IBF/WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko due to a reported hand injury. The fight has been highly anticipated mainly due to Haye’s antics towards both Klitschko brothers during the negotiations for the fight and an expected 60,000 fans were set to be at the event. No news on whether Klitschko will fight someone else in June or wait for Haye to get healthy, but I can see him losing the IBF title because of this as his mandatory with Alexander Povetkin will be due by the time they fight. The Heavyweight division appears cursed as the only other decent fights that were made in recent times were also cancelled due to injuries (Wladimir-Povetkin, Chagaev-Ibragimov). Hopefully there isn’t too much of a delay because this division already sucks more then a 40 year old toothless Las Vegas hooker and the only way thats going to change is to make some decent fights.
