Boxing: Haye, Vitali may fight next March

David Haye could land a shot at Vitali Klitschko next year if he does not succeed in his political career, according to ESPN. The Ukrainian’s manager Bernd Boente has marked March 2013 as a potential date, saying Haye might face one of the Klitschko’s again. “It could be Vitali, it could be Wladimir,” said Boente. Haye has not made a secret of his desire to face Vitali since he knocked out Dereck Chisora earlier this month. However, much depends on Vitali who has yet to schedule a fight with Manuel Charr. After his bout with Charr, Vitali will campaign for parliamentary election. If successful he may hang up his gloves, but if he does not get elected then a clash with Haye has a good chance of materialising.
