Klitschko fight called off

BERLIN: The world heavyweight title fight between Ukraine's Vladimir Klitschko and David Haye on June 20 will not go ahead due to an injury sustained by the British challenger, Klitschko's management said on Wednesday.

"I am totally disappointed that the fight has been cancelled," Klitschko said in a statement. "I have been training for weeks, I am in top form and was looking forward to the evening.

"I do not want to disappoint the Schalke fans and will find a new opponent at such short notice," added the 33-year-old, who had been preparing in Austria for the fight.
