Wladimir Klitschko & David Haye set for 2 July fight

David Haye’s world heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko will take place on 2 July in Hamburg, according to Klitschko’s manager Bernd Boente.

After protracted negotiations, WBA champion Haye and IBF and WBO holder Klitschko agreed to fight last month with the venue and date undecided, the BBC News reported.

But Boente confirmed the 57,000-capacity Imtech Arena in Germany would stage the unification contest.

“The fight will be 2 July in Hamburg. It is confirmed 100%,” said Boente.

“We had different options and held negotiations in other countries. Switzerland was in play, Ukraine and different options in Germany.
