Wladimir Klitschko calls out Haye for title fight

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wladimir Klitschko wants a heavyweight title unification fight with David Haye, and he doesn’t want to hear any more excuses.

Klitschko is calling out the British WBA champion, who has never followed through on repeated vows to take the title belts of Klitschko and his brother, Vitali. Wladimir is the IBF and WBO champion, while Vitali holds the WBC belt.

Although Wladimir Klitschko’s representatives initiated talks with Haye’s promoters Tuesday, Klitschko told The Associated Press he believes Haye will once again find a way to back out of the matchup.

The normally decorous Klitschko called Haye a liar and a fraud who has built his career on false promises of challenging the Klitschko brothers, who have reigned atop the heavyweight division unbeaten since 2004.
