SecondsOut.com - WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko say David Haye was given the opportunity to face him in September but turned him down in favour of an all British showdown with bitter rival Dereck Chisora.

Vitali instead chose to face unbeaten boxer Manuel Charr in Moscow on September 8. The bout will be broadcast on American cable network HBO.

Speaking at a press conference to publicize the Charr fight Klitschko was quoted by Russian News Agency RIA Novosti as saying: “David Haye was supposed to be at this press conference. He had a concrete offer to fight in September and he refused.

“He turned down a fight with Vitali Klitschko in favor of one with Chisora”

Last Saturday Haye did what Vitali failed to do and that was to score an impressive stoppage win over Chisora. Vitali was forced to go the full 12 rounds and failed to drop the outgunned Londoner. .
