| Haye keen on Rumble in the Jungle 2 • Haye keen on emulating his hero Muhammad Ali• Negotiations said to have started with president of GabonThe WBA world heavyweight champion David Haye has revealed he could take part in a "new Rumble in the Jungle" against Vitali Klitschko in Africa. The 29-year-old secured his world title with a points victory over Nikolai Valuev in November and is set for a mandatory title defence against Puerto Rican John Ruiz early in 2010.Providing he beats the 37-year-old Ruiz, Haye could then face the Ukrainian Klitschko, the WBC world heavyweight champion, later in the year. Haye is keen on emulating Muhammad Ali's famous fight with George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), in 1974, and his advisers have reportedly begun talks with the president of Gabon about possibly holding a fight."Of course I want to defend my title in Britain and also fight in Las Vegas, but as heavyweight champion of the world I also want to fight all over the world," Haye told the News of the World. "Muhammad Ali is best remembered for his 'Rumble in the Jungle' fight. There was also his 'Thriller in Manila' fight with Joe Frazier."I am going to Angola for the African Nations Cup next month and it's something we will continue talking about. Ali is a massive hero of mine and if I could do something like he did then I'd love it."Maybe we can stage the new Rumble in the Jungle. I am looking to leave a legacy and to be able to fight in every continent would be tremendous."David HayeBoxingguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
