Ukraine"s WBC Heavyweight Champion Vitali...
WBA Heavyweight Champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KOs) will face John "The Quiet Man" Ruiz (44-8, 30 KOs) on April 3 at the MEN Arena in Manchester.
"I have my fingers crossed for him [for Haye]. I want him to win - not because I like the guy, but because I want to fight him, and I want to shut his mouth," Klitschko was quoted by the Telegraph as saying.
"Dr. Ironfist" Klitschko (39-2, 37 KOs), who announced last month his plans to abandon professional boxing this year, said he hopes to fight Haye before his retirement.
"If the fight with Haye comes through, I would be happy to fight in England. I am ready to fight in any part of the world," he said.
Earlier in the year, Vitali said he wanted the Klitschko brothers to have all four of the heavyweight titles.
Vitaly"s brother Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KOs) is currently the WBO and IBF heavyweight world champion.
