Former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis claimed that his countryman David Haye will be able to win Ukrainian Volodymyr Klitschko. Haye, who on November 7 won the title of the WBA version (World Boxing Association) claimed he is ready to meet with Klitschko in 2010, but the negotiations on the organization of the duel have not begun.

On November 7 Haye gained a victory over Nikolay Valuev by points. Lewis believes that if Briton is boxing against Volodymyr Klitschko in the same way as against Valuev, he will gain a victory over the Ukrainian world champion too. Currently, Volodymyr Klitschko is the Heavyweight IBF (International Boxing Federation) and WBO (World Boxing Organization) champion.

Lewis also said that it will be more difficult for Haye to cope with Vitali Klitschko. According to Lewis, senior Klitschko is a very awkward opponent who knows how to use his advantage in height and length of hands, writes Lenta.ru.

Lennox Lewis retired from professional boxing in 2003, and his last rival was precisely Vitali Klitschko. Briton, who won by technical knockout in the sixth round, admitted that he took time to adjust to the way of Ukrainian. Now senior Klitschko is the champion of the world under the version of WBC (World Boxing Council).

As for Haye, in the first half of 2010 he will conduct a mandatory WBA title defense in a duel with American John Ruiz. Volodymyr Klitschko will meet with the WBO mandatory challenger American Eddie Chambers in early 2010.
