WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has warned Dereck Chisora that his chances of fighting Wladimir Klitschko are rapidly receding.

Chisora was scheduled to face Klitschko on December 11, but the bout was cancelled at the last minute after injury forced the Ukrainian to pull out.

Since then, Chisora has been adamant that the fight will be rescheduled - but Haye harbours serious doubts due to the nature of the Klitschkos' contract negotiations.

"Unfortunately [Chisora] signed one of these infamous Klitschko contracts they like to make their opponents sign which relieves them of all rights," Haye told BBC Sport. "He's at their mercy, if they want to fight him they will, if they want me they'll fight me - it's up to them."

The biggest obstacle for Chisora is Klitschko's desire for a much-anticipated unification battle against Haye, which is expected to take place in early 2011.
