Manuel Charr wants Vitali Klitschko fight

Charr wants Klitschko fight

Manuel Charr has revealed that he will use his fight against David Haye to secure a rematch with WBC champion Vitali Klitschko.

Charr, 28, had his fight stopped with Vitali last September due to a large cut, but he has insisted that he would have beaten the Ukrainian but for the stoppage.

"Vitali doesn't want to fight David and he doesn't want to fight me again, either. But if Vitali is any sort of champion he will look at this fight on June 29 and then fight the winner. We both want him and we have both earned the right to get a shot," he told BoxRec News.

"He's never fought David Haye, and Haye has called him out for three years now. Vitali said he wanted to knock him out, shut him up and all this other rubbish, but he never did anything about it. The fight has never happened.

"I won't let Vitali do the same to me. I want my rematch and to get it I have to knockout David Haye on June 29. So that is exactly what I will do."

Charr has won 23 of his 24 professional fights.
