Wladimir Klitschko early favourite for summer showdown

The fight the boxing world craves is due to happen on Saturday 25th June. The WBA Heavyweight Champion David Haye will take on the IBF and WBO Champion Wladimir Klitschko in one of the most anticipated heavyweight bouts in recent history.

The credibility of the heavyweight division has rapidly declined since the days of Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson, with Haye’s almost comical third-round win against Audley Harrison last November and Vitali Klitschko’s recent first-round win over the Cuban Odlanier Solis reflecting the lack of competitiveness in the division. The unification contest between Haye and the younger Klitschko will hopefully restore some pride and generate some much needed excitement in the badly bruised heavyweight division.

At the time of writing Skybet have Klitschko as the slight favourite with odds of 4/7, whilst Haye is 11/8 to win and a draw 28/1. Both fighters have vowed to knock the other out with Klitschko again edging it at 4/1, with David Haye 6/1. Over the past two years Haye and the Klitschko brothers have been engaged in numerous verbal spars with nothing ever materialising. Providing Wladimir can recover from a stomach injury the fight will go ahead. Should he not then his older brother Vitali will most probably step in.
