Londoner David Haye's dream of fighting for the world heavyweight championship in his home city finally looks like being realised.

Talks for the former cruiserweight king to meet IBF and WBO title holder Wladimir Klitschko are close to being done, according to the Ukrainian's trainer Emanuel Steward, with the O2 Arena set to host a summer clash.

Steward said Klitschko had called him to ask what size of ring should be specified in the contract. "Based on that, the fight must be on," said Steward.
