Any rumours about date and venue, really wanna get it booked up now, starting to drag on a bit

We all know that the fight has been signed but the date will either be 25th June or 2nd July as for venue etc no idea but there is a lot of interest for with it being a heavyweight unifaction match etc.

It will be July 2.
I was told Dubai the other day!

I think its gonna be July 2nd but don't think the old budget is gonna stretch to Dubai

Already told Jon this, but was told that the Millenium Stadium officially placed a bid to stage it last Friday. Probably come to nothing but there you go.

i heard something along those lines,the fact venue hasent been announced yet means that something is a miss venue wise

Might be worth provisionally booking a Cardiff room for the not on the off-chance

It won't be in Britain. If 60,000 see it live in the UK, that's 60,000 lost PPV sales worth £1m.
It will sell out in Germany too, but they will get the stadium for free, big name corporate sponsors like Mercedes and Hugo Boss and sell a pile of VIP packages for £1,000.

Couldn't give a monkey where it happens as long as it does.

I agree with that sentiment as well, this could be one of the fights that is neeed to reinject more interest in boxing in particular with the Heavyweight division because the average man on the street does not want to see the Brothers K jab an opponent to death for 8-10 rounds before eventually knocking them out, they want to see excitement and drama and this (hopefully) will be a fight that will provide as I think David Haye has got enough power and speed and the right mentality to give Wladimir K at least a very rough night in my opinion.
