Such is the desperation to defend family pride against the insults of David Haye that the Klitschko brothers might even resort to tossing a coin to decide who will fight the Briton.Older brother Vitali, who is the WBC world heavyweight champion, wants to pull rank by virtue of age, while Wladimir, the IBF, WBO and IBO champion, is still angry that Haye, holder of the WBA belt, pulled out of their scheduled fight last autumn.
What irks them both is the T-shirt Haye wore depicting him holding the severed heads of the two brothers.
Speaking in Abu Dhabi ahead of tonight’s Laureus World Sports Awards, Vitali said: ‘I want to close David Haye’s mouth myself.
'I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Haye against John Ruiz next month. Not because I like him, but because he’s the greatest talker.
'He cut off my head and the head of my brother. I’m lucky that my mum didn’t see the pictures. And he has the one world title we don’t have in the family.
'I told Wladimir: “I want to fight David Haye.”
