Klitschko and Haye head for Hamburg showdown

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

The WBA heavyweight champion finally agreed terms last month to meet IBF/WBO holder Klitschko.

Klitschko’s manager Bernd Boente yesterday confirmed the 57,000-capacity Imtech Arena in Hamburg, where Klitschko was once based and still enjoys massive support, beat competition from rival German locations and venues in Switzerland and Ukraine.
