WBA champion David Haye and WBC king Vitali Klitschko want a heavyweight unification clash next year.The Ukrainian told BBC Radio 5 live he is "ready to give Haye a fight and to knock him out" once he has got past American Kevin Johnson on 12 December.
Briton Haye, who faces a mandatory defence against former WBA champion John Ruiz, responded: "Let's get it on. I look forward to a mega-showdown."
Haye took the WBA title by outpointing Russian Nikolay Valuev on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Londoner won a majority decision in Nuremberg to become the first British world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis retired in 2003.
Haye has already seen one bout with Klitschko fall through and also pulled out of a June meeting with Klitschko's younger brother, IBF and WBO champion Wladimir, because of a back injury.
"It is very difficult to say what will happen in the future because Haye is so unpredictable, but I am ready at any time to fight him," said Klitschko, 38.
