Unless Wladimir Klitschko can regain his past form, he’ll lose the rematch with Tyson Fury on July 9th-at least that’s what former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye believes.

Promoter Eddie Hearn said heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could step into the ring for a mouth-watering fight this year.
Fury’s long-awaited rematch with Klitschko was finally confirmed this week, with their second fight to be staged in Manchester on 9 July.
Haye returns to the ring against Arnold Gjergjaj next month and hopes to remain on course for a fight against Joshua, which he feels would attract huge public interest.
“It wasn’t very important for the fight to be in Manchester, but it was very important that I wasn’t going back to Germany, ” Fury said. We don’t know how good Charles Martin is, but a good fighter doesn’t allow the opponent to show how good they are.
Hearn said he has already discussed a potential fight between the two champions with Peter Fury, the WBO and WBA title holder’s uncle and trainer.
“I used to play Federation Internationale de Football Association until it affected my boxing”, Joshua told The Sun. Fury went on Twitter minutes after Joshua knocked out Charles Martin inside two rounds, claiming he looked “slow, ponderous” and “like a body builder”, finishing with the battlecry of “let me slay the lamb”. I had the desire and the will to win even though I was injured in the second round. On my side, I’ve got two fights to take care of.
Mitchell predicts Joshua will have a few easy defences before taking on Fury, meaning he won’t want to fight Parker before a massive pay day.
“It will make my fight against him that much bigger and more special”.
