David Haye envisages “an army of Brits invading Germany” after his massive unification showdown with Wladimir Klitschko was today confirmed for July 2 in Hamburg.

TEN years ago Michael Grant prepared for his world heavyweight title challenge to Lennox Lewis in New York’s Madison Square Garden by telling the watching media: “I feel my time has come.”

David Haye's hopes of facing one of the Klitschko brothers before the end of the year are effectively over after the Ukrainian heavyweight champions lined up alternative opponents.

Former world heavyweight champion John Ruiz has announced his retirement from the ring after an 18-year professional career that ended in a title defeat to David Haye earlier this month.

DAVID HAYE has revealed negotiations with the Klitschko brothers will begin later this week as he seeks to unify the world heavyweight titles.

Vitali Klitschko will defend his WBC heavyweight title against London-based Pole Albert Sosnowski on May 29.

Evander Holyfield will attempt to become the oldest WBA heavyweight champion, according to reports that he has accepted an offer to fight current champion Nikolay Valuev.
