Newly-crowned WBA heavyweight champion David Haye was all smiles on Saturday afternoon at a luncheon to honor his majority decision victory over Nicolay Valuev. Haye has a mandatory title defense over former world champion John Ruiz, who he stated will be his biggest challenge in his career because of his fighting style. However, he was not shy about who he would like to face down the road. “I was destined to be a world champion. My biggest fight and payday will be against the Klitschkos. I know that the money will be the deciding factor in bringing them to the table.”
