WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko will defend his belt against former undisputed cruiserweight champ David Haye in June 2009.

“I have said from day one I am going to be the undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion,” Haye said. “I have not disappointed. I am not cherry-picking, I am going after the most dangerous fighter on the planet.

Haye said the fight made sense for both sides.

“We sat down and talked numbers that made sense for both sides, and it’s done and dusted,” Haye said. “We agreed terms and just need to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Plain and simple, this is how boxing should be.”

Haye completely cleaned out the cruiserweight division but he has never really been tested as a heavyweight. He has a lot of talent but he may be top small to beat a much stronger fighter like Vitali.

The exacty date and location of the fight has not yet been decided.
