Vitali Klitschko claims he has 'agreement' to fight Haye

WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has told a newspaper in his home country of Ukraine that he has 'a preliminary agreement' to fight Britain's WBA champion, David Haye.

"In the near future I plan to fight Haye and take the title," Ukrainian daily Fakty quoted Klitschko as saying.

"The preliminary agreement has already been reached."

Haye is scheduled to fight his mandatory challenger John Ruiz, most likely in April and in London.
