'I'm ready. What are you waiting for?' Big Wlad calls out the Hayemaker

IBF and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has taken the unusual step of sending a public video message to boxing fans of the world and one man in particular - Britain's WBA champion, David Haye.

Klitschko accuses Haye of twice 'bitching out' of fights with either himself or his WBC champion brother Vitali - claims which, if expressed in rather less hostile language, have some merit - and challenges the new champ on the block to fight him.

Haye revels in what I believe is colloquially known as 'smack talk' and I'm sure the stylised mini-movie will have the Londoner rubbing his hands with glee.

Adam Booth said that it was now obvious fans won't have to wait long for a match between Haye and one of the brothers to take place.  Of concern should be the fact that Sauerland Promotions in Germany have options on Haye's next two fights.
