Boxing: Wlad: David Haye can get in line.

WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO is eager to silence David Haye's "loud" behaviour and compares Britain's heavyweight hope to Herbie Hide.

Klitschko and elder brother Vitali will turn their attention to Haye after Wladimir's defence of his IBF, WBO and IBO belts against Hasim Rahman on Saturday.

Which one of the towering Ukrainian siblings face Haye remains to be seen, although recent comments from WBC champion Vitali suggests it will be himself.

Former undisputed cruiserweight king Haye announced his arrival in the division beating Monte Barrett in five rounds last month.

Wladimir would like to face the 28-year-old but likens him to Hide, Britain's two-time WBO heavyweight champion who ultimately proved too small to survive among the bigger men.

"David Haye decided to make himself famous by promoting himself," said the 32-year-old, who would be happy to fight Haye in London.

"He's loud but only actions in the ring can show whether it's empty words.

"It's too early to judge how he will do as a heavyweight but if he continues to behave like that I will probably consider meeting him in the ring to stop it.

"There is nothing wrong with him stepping into the heavyweight division, he's welcome. I told him to get in line.

"I consider Haye to be like Herbie Hide. They both try to end fights with one punch.

They're comparable. David's fast and so is Herbie.

"But there aren't many examples of fighters moving up to heavyweight and doing well - Evander Holyfield is an exception."
