Either June 25 or July 2 favorite blockbuster clash while several European locations, including Monaco and Switzerland host running was alleged.However, Germany, where the couple about two years ago Haye pulled out from a back injury most likely always fought before the event was host country for the majority of his title defense there with Klitschko.
Haye said, "It's great to finally find out the date and venue. I've been training for this fight since the end of 2010 and it's nice to now have a concrete date to work towards.
"Hamburg is an accessible city for a lot of British fans, so I'm expecting a huge turnout for what is undoubtedly the biggest boxing event of the year.
"We're going to have an army of Brits invading Germany on July 2nd and I can't wait to sample the atmosphere.
"I think every city in mainland Europe and beyond wanted to stage this fight, and that shows just what an appealing event it is. Personally, I wasn't bothered where the fight ended up.
"I'd fight Wladimir anywhere, so long as the location comes with a ring and a referee that can count to ten. By the time I've finished with Wladimir, he won't know where he is anyway."
