BOOTH RULES OUT HAYE-KLITSCHKO REMATCH - Sportinglife.com

Adam Booth has insisted David Haye is unlikely to face Wladimir Klitschko or his brother Vitali before he retires.

Haye lost his WBA heavyweight title to Wladimir on Saturday after a disappointing points defeat in rainy Hamburg - with the Briton claiming he had been hampered by a broken toe.

Haye's claims for a rematch are likely to fall on deaf ears - and with no title to use as a bargaining chip, a fight with Vitali also looks unlikely.

And although Haye's trainer and manager Booth is unsure if the Bermondsey fighter would now stick to his plans to retire in October, he claims a fight with the Klitschkos is now unlikely because of the tough terms the Ukrainian siblings would demand.

Asked about the possibility of a rematch, Booth said: "No. Doing business with them when you don't have equal parity? I'd never do it.

"I speak for David here because I know what he's said to me repeatedly. I don't think he would do it.

"He's not going to have that 'slave contract' that he complained about all the time.

"This fight was equal parity because of everything David managed to achieve."

Vitali is due to fight Tomasz Adamek in Poland in September and when asked about Haye meeting the elder Klitschko instead, Booth said: "It wouldn't be a contract that David would want and Vitali's got to fight Adamek anyway."
