Frank Maloney says Klitschko brothers need David Haye – Boxing news
Frank Maloney, who managed Lennox Lewis throughout his entire career, has insisted that Klitschko brothers have nowhere else to go and they need David Haye’s name to generate interest.
David ‘the Hayemaker’ Haye, fought Wladimir Klitschko in their mega unification bout for the heavyweight titles on July 2, 2011 at the Hamburg’s Football Stadium in Germany. Though Haye lost his title via unanimous point’s decision, it was one of the biggest
bouts in recent history of British boxing which generated a lot of money. Therefore, Maloney reckons if Klitschko brothers want another big payday they will have to contact Haye for that.
“He has been made an offer by the Klitschkos because there is nowhere else for them to go. Haye is a name and the Klitschkos need his name to generate interest,” Maloney said.
There are speculations that negotiations are going on between Haye and Wladimir’s elder brother Vitali Klitschko for their possible fight in 2012 and Maloney believes if Haye really sets up a Vitali clash it will be the final chance for the Brit to redeem
himself. Maloney also insisted that Haye will have to fight completely differently to beat Vitali, if the two meet in the ring.
“David keeps himself in good shape, but will he get the money he wants from coming back? He could redeem himself if he wins and, if he loses, people will say it was always going to happen,” he said. “Certainly if he does come back he has got to fight completely
differently against Vitali than he did against Wladimir. Haye’s only chance of winning is to go for it h**l for leather and take some risks.”
Haye, who won 25 of his 27 professional fights, with 23 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout, officially announced his retirement on his 31st birthday but he always said he would come back, if he gets another chance to fight any of the
Klitschko brothers because he desperately wants to avenge his defeat.
So let’s see if Vitali offers Haye a chance to take him on because their fight will certainly attract a lot of people.
