Sauerland Event, which co-promotes Valuev along with Don King, will play a role in those aforementioned bouts as Schaefer confirmed the company does have options on Haye's next three fights because Valuev's defense against Haye was voluntary and not mandatory.
"The fact is they are going to be involved in David Haye's next three fights," said Schaefer to BoxingScene.com. He wasn't certain if King would be included, but that if he is, "it would be on the side of the Sauerland equation."
There was a rematch clause for Valuev in the contract for Saturday's fight with Haye, but Schaefer said it did not stipulate the rematch had to be immediate. Thus the plan for Haye to first fight Ruiz and then one of the Klitschkos.
"The next fight for David Haye will be a mandatory defense against John Ruiz, probably in the spring of 2010, in the UK," Schaefer said. "It will be like a homecoming for David Haye."
That course of action could be derailed slightly if Haye's hand is broken. Schaefer said he Haye is expected to get an MRI this week....
