David Haye set for Schalke

David Haye will fight world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko at Schalke 04's stadium in Gelsenkirchen.

England's former undisputed cruiserweight world champion will take on the Germany-based Ukrainian for the IBF and WBO world titles at the German football club's ground on 20 June.

The Veltins Arena has a capacity of 61,000 and a retractable roof that could be used in the event of bad weather.

The stadium — formerly known as the AufSchalke Arena — was the scene of England's defeat on penalties to Portugal at the 2006 World Cup.
