This is supposed to take place on June 6th in London. Any ideas on which venue will host this event? Who will win?

Vitali Klitschko, the World Boxing Council heavyweight champion, has confirmed that his younger brother Wladimir will fight Britain's David Haye for the International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Organisation heavyweight title belts this summer.

As revealed in The Daily Telegraph yesterday, the fight will take place at Stamford Bridge on June 20.
Vitali Klitschko said: "I'm more than sure the fight will be this year. I want to fight him but so does my brother so we decided the youngest one will fight David Haye."
David Adam Booth, Haye's trainer and business partner, said last night: "We are hoping to make a major announcement in the next couple of weeks, we are a long way down the road. It is a fight which makes sense for all parties concerned.
"It will be in an outdoor venue. We did see if the 02 Arena was available on that night, but it was booked. The detail of the fight is going backwards and forwards with the lawyers at the moment."
If the details are completed, Haye, the former world cruiserweight champion, will not fight before June 20, because it is seen as too much of a risk.
Haye, 28, has been at his training camp in northern Cyprus for three weeks, where he has begun his strength and conditioning work.
Vitali, 37, announced his retirement in 2005 but returned to win the WBC title last year after knee surgery, and is now preparing for a mandatory defence against Juan Carlos Gomez, of Cuba, in Stuttgart on March 21.
He said: "However reluctant I am to hold this fight [against Gomez], the WBC and the World Boxing Organisation decided to make the fight a mandatory defence."
Meanwhile Olympic bronze medallist David Price, the Great Britain team captain, has become the latest fighter to join the professional ranks, under Haye's promotional company Hayemaker.
The 6ft 8in heavyweight will make his debut on the "Mersey Beatdown" promotion at the Echo Arena on March 28.
Price, 25, is a veteran of nearly 100 amateur bouts, and was also a Commonwealth Games gold medallist in Melbourne.
Haye said last night: "David Price is the best young heavyweight prospect we have in this country right now. We have sparred for years. He was always a very tricky, tall and rangy heavyweight and has every shot in the book."
