Retired Boxer David Haye has said that only a bout against WBC world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko will tempt him back into the ring.

Quoted today in The Irish Examiner, Haye has said that he has had enough ‘domestic dust-ups’ and has the Ukrainian in his sights.
“I’m only going to face someone whose name is Klitschko. I’ve had my domestic dust-ups,”he said.
The 32 year-old who many consider all talk and no trousers following his awful showing against Wladimir last August – a sore toe was one excuse – may just be looking for more publicity.
Vitali is standing for election to Ukraine’s parliament in 10 days and his future plans are unclear. Haye believes that the 41 year-old is clever enough to see the opportunity it represents.
“I’m the biggest fight out there and he knows that, he’s not stupid. The WBC are happy for me to fight him, they know I’m the only guy out there to challenge him,” he said modestly.
Haye beat Derek Chisora in May before announcing his retirement. For all his ‘fighting’ talk, he would do well to remember that last fight against a Klitschko.
In case you have forgotten David, here you go. No need to thank us.
