WBA Heavyweight Champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KOs) of Britain has not spoken on any possible bouts with Ukraine's WBC Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko, a manager for the British boxer said.

"Dr. Ironfist" Klitschko (39-2, 37 KOs) earlier told some Russian media outlets that he has spoken with Haye and reached a preliminary agreement on a bout next year.

"There is absolutely no agreement in place for David to face Vitali next year. We have had no contact with Vitali or his team and were surprised to see him make those comments over the weekend," BoxingScene.com website quoted Adam Booth as saying.

He added that "David's next fight will be against American mandatory challenger John Ruiz - and that will go ahead in either April or May."

Earlier in the year, Vitali said he wanted the Klitschko brothers to have all four of the heavyweight titles.

Vitaly's brother Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KOs) is currently the WBO and IBF heavyweight world champion.

"The Klitschkos are very much on our agenda for 2010. But nothing is set in place and nothing has been agreed or arranged. We haven't heard anything from the Klitschko camp since David won the WBA title from Nikolai Valuev and subsequently strengthened his bargaining position," Booth added.
