British challenger David Haye has vowed he will be ready to bring an end to the "boring" heavyweight stranglehold of Wladimir Klitscho.
The Bermondsey Bomber, nicknamed 'Hayemaker', had to watch on as the Ukraine powerhouse dispatched of the previously undefeated Ruslan Chagaev in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on Saturday night after Haye had pulled out of their eagerly-anticipated bout because of injury picked up in training.
Haye may now have to take on Wladimir's older brother and WBC champion Vitali first before getting his big chance to bring an end to the IBF and WBO world heavyweight champion's domination of the big division.
"Wladimir sold 65,000 tickets off the back of the fact he was going to fight me. None of his fights prior to that have come anywhere close to that because he's a boring, un-entertaining fighter," Haye told Sky Sports News.
"It's just unfortunate that I got the injury in training but he just went out and did his usual thing. For me, he's Wladimir 'the cure for insomnia' Klitscho. He couldn't be more boring.
"He had the guy beat from round one, but he let it go on for nine rounds. He didn't knock the guy out, the guy retired in his corner and it's that sort of performance, which just shows why he hasn't got a very big fan base.
"For me, to be the number one in the world you've got to beat both the Klitschko brothers. His brother hasn't got any obligations and he's free in September so we'll see if that's a possibility.
"If it's Wladimir first or Vitali first it doesn't bother me. I've got to fight both of them anyway so I don't care which one comes first."
