Just read an article on Fightnews.com, Haye vs Vitali looks set for 20th September, in Germany, with HBO covering in America and the BBC covering over here. Good news if it comes off : )

The BBC haven't made an announcement yet, so we'll have to see if it's true. If it is, though, WELL DONE BBC!

Great news if it is true really hope it is. Hopefully BBC will get John Rawling to commantate

(Rawling) "Klitschko throws that right hand straight down the pipe"

(Duke) - "...at this moment in time..."

(R) "Vitai might not do one thing brilliantly, but really is looking an accomplished champion"

(D) "...at this present moment in time..."

(R) "He might not be the best heavyweight of all time, but his size makes him a really tough proposition"

(D) "...at this current present moment in time..."

(R) "If you had any doubt about Haye's chin, there's no doubting the man's heart"

(D) "...Haye needs to change the fight now, or he won't win the heavyweight title at this m..."

(R) "I you had any doubts about Haye's talent (?), there's no questioning his power"

Are you having a laugh. Rawling is awful and genuinely disliked as a commentator by British Boxing fans. But BBC don't really have much choice. Maybe they could piece together and entirely new commentating team.

Commentators should be enthusiastic, imo.

Haye-Vitali on BBC? Too good to be true surely? I hope this happens - it would really get the British public behind him for this fight!

Excellent news - I did seem it odd that Booth was complaining about the BBC specifically (a firm whose has been in the boxing wilderness) and not just terrestial TV in general. Obviously was in the process of dotting the I's and crosssing the T's then.

Lets hope it is live. Heavyweight championship boxing on prime time BBC - excellent.

Thing is though, they've got Floyd on PPV the week before. They've even got Matthew Hatton on the undercard as a selling point.

It won't be Sep 20, that's a Sunday. I heard Sep 12 in Dusseldorf or Frankfurt.

Laugh all you want but that will be a major part of the promotion of the fight to the common man.

Great! I'd even settle for Jim Neilly with the dukester.

Jim: And this Vitalimir is certainly one of the very best ten heavyweights in the world Duke, oh look a lovely little touch of gloves there. That's sportsmanship.
Duke: If Wlodali can get rounds in the bin he can rack up a lead and win.
Jim: We saw the early fights of David Haye and this one is shaping up very much like the fight against Saber Zairi. Oh and a lovely right hand from Vitolomyr and Haye is down Duke, Haye is down.
Duke: HAYE NEEDS TO GET ON HIS BIKE! HAYE NEEDS TO WATCH OUT FOR THOSE BOOMING SHOTS COMING HIS WAY!
Jim: This one has turned out very much like Haye's fight with Carl Thompson in many ways. Haye will be devastated. Haye will be devastated.

WWE?

I'm talking about real enthusiasm, not feigned, by the way.
