The 27-year-old Londoner, who ended his reign as undisputed world cruiserweight champion to move up to heavyweight, has learned that Klitschko may be prepared to fight him following his next defence.

Richard Schaefer, chief executive of Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy company who are closely allied to Haye's new Hayemaker Promotions, revealed: "I had a conversation with Shelly Finkel and he told me that they will accept the fight with David Haye."

Haye had originally planned two fights at heavyweight before hopefully tackling Klitschko next year but will grab the chance if it arises.

"I'd do it whenever," he said. "I'm not too fussed about when that fight is.

"In an ideal world it looks great to have a couple of warm-up fights and then get the big one.

"It helps generate the hype surrounding the fight and the longer it takes to happen, the bigger the fight will be.

"It also gives the American public chance to see me in action first but if the fight can only happen in the early part of next year then so be it. I'll be ready for it."
