It is being reported David Haye's fight against Wladimir Klitschko could end up being held outside of Germany, with Moscow and the United Arab Emirates now being considered. Haye's  manager/trainer Adam Booth was ringside in Cologne on Saturday to see Wladimir's elder brother Vitali defend his WBC world heavyweight title.

Wba champion Haye is signed to fight IBF-WBO holder Wladimir in a unification title fight that now looks set to take place on July 2 rather than June 25.

Whilst it is rumoured German football grounds in Gelsenkirchen, Dusseldorf and Frankurt are under consideration for the bout, six other countries are also battling it out to host boxing's biggest showdown this year: Russia, the UAE, Monaco, Switzerland, South Africa and America.

Booth discussed venues with Germany-based Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente and they fly to New York to talk to American broadcasters HBO and Showtime this week.

He said: "I think it will be wrapped up in the third week of April and it will be in Europe. It's taking a while to do as there are so many offers and venues to consider.

"Ideally the venue will be in Europe and indoors because we don't want to have to worry about rain.

"It's a bigger fight now than it was two years ago when David pulled out. Wladimir or Vitali have not had a fight as big as this before. When Vitali fought Lennox Lewis he was a late substitute remember and it wasn't a massive fight.

"There is no other fight as big as fighting David, so why would it not happen? It's as about as personal a fight as David has ever had."

Boente insists Wladimir will have recovered from the stomach muscle injury that forced him to pull out of defending his belts against Londoner Dereck Chisora on April 30.

He said: "I think he'll be fit. He'll start his training in mid-April or the start of May. We are waiting on different offers from venues.

"It could take place in Germany and there are two other options. It would be in a European time zone."

Haye's fight with Wladimir is needed to boost the credibility of an ailing heavyweight division which took another blow with Vitali's one-round win over Cuban Odlanier Solis.

Solis, 30, lost his unbeaten record when a glancing blow caused him to lose balance and stagger backwards, injuring his left knee in the process. The 2004 Olympic gold medallist crumbled to the canvas and his corner declared a suspected cruciate knee ligament injury meant he could not continue.

Scans yesterday reportedly showed Solis had torn a cruciate ligament.

Congratulations to David Haye agianst Audley Harrison - The Klitschko brothers await!

David Haye, made it look easier agianst challenger Audley Harrison in Manchester at the M.E.N Arena Sat 13 Nov 2010. Where now for Audley many critics are voicing. But for David Haye only the Klitschko Brothers are in his sights!  At 1min 53sec of round three, Audley Harrison collapsed in the arms of the Puerto Rican referee Luis Pabon, having been counted out of nine under a barrage of head shots from the champion David Haye

Talks are on going between David Haye , Adam Booth, Haye's manager and trainer, and Golden Boy Promotions, the WBA champion’s American handlers. Negotiations over the split of the purse and the division of television money are the stubbling issues it has been said. Fight enues in the UK and Germany are possible and of course Las Vegas remains an option. “It is all about the economics,” Booth said.

Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya is reported as saying "This is a fight the world wants to see, and which boxing really needs. It is a huge fight, and if we can get the money right, I see no reason why it could not happen in Las Vegas, the world’s fight capital.”

Las Vegas of course is seen by many as the place to be at any heavyweight showdown and did host Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko when they met in 2003. It is understood that Home Box Office, the American cable TV giants, could be interested in underwriting the contest.

Congratulations to David Haye over the defiant John Ruiz. -  David Haye is set to begin talks with the Klitschko brothers as he looks to unify the world heavyweight titles. IBF and WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko has issued a video message taunting Britain's WBA title holder and calling for a showdown between the pair. Wladimir's older brother Vitali, the WBC champion, is also on Haye's radar as he targets holding all four belts. David Haye, 29, said that trainer and manager Adam Booth would enter negotiations with the Ukrainians later this week. Vitali and Wladimir will know that unless Haye is disposed of, their own legacies will be tarnished 
 
Britain's David Haye defended his WBA heavyweight crown with a ninth-round stoppage of an obdurate and courageous John Ruiz in Manchester. Haye saw Ruiz hit the deck in just 25 seconds into the encounter but the American showed tremendous bravery and powers of recovery to continue the contest. For a short while it looked as if Ruiz was working his way back into the fight but the showing signs of battle the 38-year-old was down in the fifth and again in the sixth before Ruiz's corner called it a day three rounds later. Haye's significant victory over a John Ruiz who had only been stopped once in 54 previous encounters,  makes agian an inevitable unification clash with either WBC champion Vitali Klitschko or his younger brother Wladimir, the IBF and WBO title-holder.

*** CONGRATULATIONS DAVID HAYE ***

David Haye end victorious over the Giant Nikolay Valuev. Whilst David Haye showed a no frills approach to the contest he hit, he moved, he hit, he moved - all the way to a deserved world heavyweight crown. "He had his game-plan and he executed it to perfection," said Valuev's co-promoter Don King after watching the fight. "He did what he had to do, and he did it brilliantly."

"I had to find a strategy to beat him, and I did," said Haye, who revealed he had damaged his right hand early on in the fight. "I hit him more times than he hit me."

His next fight is with former two-time world champion John Ruiz is which is predicted to me a very different and exciting contest. Haye has been heard to say he'll "knock Ruiz spark out", and he on his performance now would be a brave man to say otherwise.  In the meantime, we should congratulate a deserved winner and only Britain's third heavyweight world champion since Bob Fitzsimmons in 1899,  only the second former cruiserweight world champion to claim a world heavyweight crown after Holyfield. It's quite special and should be savoured and applauded.

Haye believes he can unify the four main world heavyweight titles
David Haye claims he has agreed a deal to fight WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in London next June. - He said the deal was done in Germany after he had seen Klitchko's brother, Wladimir, beat Hasim Rahman to retain his IBF and WBO heavyweight titles.

"We agreed terms and just need to dot the I's and cross the T's. Plain and simple, this is how boxing should be."

Haye has had one fight at heavyweight, knocking out Monte Barrett in five rounds, since stepping up from cruiserweight, at which he was undisputed world champion.

Vitali Klitschko boasts an impressive record of 35 wins and two losses from his 37 fights, the latter defeat at the hands of Lennox Lewis in Los Angeles in 2005.

The Ukrainian reclaimed the WBC belt - which he had vacated in 2005 by announcing his retirement - with a comprehensive victory over Samuel Peter in October.

"This is going to be the biggest fight since Lennox (Lewis) and (Mike) Tyson," Londoner Haye, 28, told BBC Radio Five Live.

"I have said from day one I am going to be the undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion. I have not disappointed.

"I am not cherry-picking, I am going after the most dangerous fighter on the planet."
