British boxer David Haye wants to fight a Klitschko for the world heavyweight title - and has told Vitali and Wladimir to “flip a coin” to decide which one gets to step into the ring with him.

British boxer David Haye wants to fight a Klitschko for the world heavyweight title - and has told Vitali and Wladimir to “flip a coin” to decide which one gets to step into the ring with him.

The 28-year-old Londoner produced an explosive fifth-round stoppage victory over solid American Monte Barrett at the 02 Arena in London on Saturday night, in his first fight as a fully-fledged heavyweight.

Haye – who moved up a division, having established himself as undisputed cruiserweight champion earlier this year – knew an impressive performance was needed against Barrett as he seeks the fastest route to a world title shot.

He certainly delivered, knocking Barrett down five times and being controversially floored himself in a thrilling contest at the former Millennium Dome in London.

Now he is ready to turn his attention to WBC champion Vitali Klitschko and his brother, IBF and WBO champion Wladimir – the two outstanding fighters in the division.

Haye has no preference.

“Flip a coin! I don’t care. They are both very good in their own way,” he said.
