Links: Vitali-Haye Off; Wladimir-Haye On?
News and Links for January 7, 2009…
The proposed fight between heavyweights Vitali Klitschko and David Haye is apparently off after Klitschko’s agent said he would be fighting his mandatory challenger, Juan Carlos Gomez. Instead, now it appears that Wladimir Klitschko is in the mix to land the Haye fight.
Tommy Morrison is trying to fight in Australia, but their health people (rightly) aren’t likely going to allow it without him submitting to in-depth health evaluations and HIV tests. Morrison has been claiming for years that he falsely tested positive for the HIV and is now clean, but has refused to take the tests to prove it.
The Utah Attorney General is looking into filing a federal antitrust lawsuit, saying that the BCS has a monopoly on the national championship and that not all of the BCS eligible teams are really eligible.
