IBF, WBA, and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on Friday reluctantly tipped David Haye to beat Dereck Chisora in their controversial fight next month.
The July 14 all-British bout will allow Haye and Chisora to resolve differences that led to an ugly brawl in February in the ring.
Chisora had his license revoked by the British Boxing Board of Control after fighting with Haye in a news conference that followed Chisora's loss to Vitali Klitschko. Chisora also spat in the face of Klitschko's brother Wladimir before the bout.
But the grudge match against Haye is officially sanctioned because Chisora received a license from the Luxembourg Boxing Association.
"I do not want to talk about the fight because I did not want to see it even take place, but I think Haye will win because he is better than Chisora," Klitschko was quoted saying by a boxingscene.com.
Wladimir Klitschko has a record of 57 wins, 50 by knockout, and 3 defeats. He beat Haye in July 2011 by unanimous decision.
