Adam Booth has suggested that David Haye may now meet Vitali Klitschko in September.
Haye was set to challenge Wladimir Klitschko for his IBF/WBO titles on June 20 before pulling out with a back injury.
With Wladimir now taking on Ruslan Chagaev on that date and scheduled to fight IBF mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin in September and possibly Alexander Dimitrenko in the New Year it could be a long time until the younger Klitschko brother is able to fight Haye.
This means the next round of negotiations between Booth and Bernd Bonte is likely to concern the WBC champion - assuming he is given permission by that governing body to forego the mandatory challenge of Oleg Maskaev.
rather than take the chance of moving the fight with Haye back three weeks
"We’ve spoken about Vitali in September," Booth told the Daily Star Sunday.
"Fighting Vitali is just something that was thrown up with a few other things, but we’ve not directly talked to them about it.
“It was passed on to me by someone else. It has always been about the Klitschkos and the interest of David against a Klitschko is now greater than ever."
Booth went on to suggest that Wladimir may be secretly pleased that it is brother who will step into the ring with The Hayemaker and not him.
“We were only asking for a three-week delay and Wladimir is either impatient or it’s an indication of his desire about really wanting to fight David,” Booth added.
