FILE - This is a Thursday, April 16, 2009 file photo of British heavyweight boxer David Haye as he talks at a press conference at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Haye said Thursday July 23, 2009 that he has signed a contract to challenge Nikolai Valuev for the WBA heavyweight title on Nov. 7. Although no venue has yet been fixed, the fight is expected to take place in Germany.

Tired of waiting for Vitali Klitschko, Nikolai Valuev will defend his WBA heavyweight title against David Haye in November. The fight is likely to be in Germany on Nov. 7 with Haye, the brash former cruiserweight world champion now trying to make his name as a heavyweight, promising to be the first fighter to knock out the 7-foot Russian.
