? Vitali tells Russian paper his brother is prepared to face Briton
? 'There are no problems with us to make a fight with Haye'
Vitali Klitschko says his brother, Wladimir, is ready to agree a fight with David Haye, it was reported today. Wladimir currently holds three of the world heavyweight belts, Vitali one and Haye the other.
A fight between the 30-year-old Londoner and one of the Ukrainians has been in the offing for a long time, with Haye having already withdrawn from a 2009 bout with Wladimir due to a back problem. But, after Wladimir's fight with Dereck Chisora was called off 10 days ago owing to injury, Vitali says that his sibling is ready to do business with Haye.
"Wladimir is ready to fight Haye. It is always Haye who comes up with the excuses," the elder Klitschko told the Golzka newspaper. "Last year we had a signed contract and that wasn't enough. Haye has the last remaining title that doesn't belong to a Klitschko. There are no problems with us to make a fight with Haye."
Vitali had said last month that he wanted to fight Haye first, as he believed his brother would "kill" the Bermondsey man. Haye has made no secret of his desire to unify the division by his 31st birthday in October 2011 ? when he plans to retire from the sport.
