The 28-year-old, the former undisputed world cruiserweight champion, marked his heavyweight debut with an explosive fifth-round victory over Monte Barrett.

He knocked down the American five times and Haye now says he is ready to turn his attention to WBC champion Vitali Klitschko or his brother, IBF and WBO champion Wladimir.

The Londoner, whose career record of 22 victories out of 23 fights includes 21 wins by knockout, says he has no preference: "Flip a coin. I don't care. They are both very good in their own way. I'm looking forward to going out and fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world."

Although the fight was not shown live on television in the United States, Haye admitted it was important to send a message with a big performance against Barrett.

"I'm here to entertain, to put it on the line and fight the best fighters in the world," he said.

"You can see Vitali wants to fight. He feels a lot bigger than me. He's a lump of a man, but I definitely feel I've got his kryptonite. I can figure out a strategy to beat him. I'm definitely faster than him, and I'd like to prove to everybody just how fast.

"If I land the shots I landed against Barrett on either of those brothers, they are going to know about it."

"If that's next, then that's what I'll have. If not, if it is delayed for a while for some reason, then I'll get another fight in. But I am looking to fight regularly, not taking big lay-offs.

"If it [a Klitschko fight] is the summer, then probably I'd like to get another fight in February or March to keep myself active."
