Vitali Klitschko is looking to make his third successful World Boxing Council heavyweight title defense of the year today when he takes on unbeaten Kevin Johnson in Bern, Switzerland. The Georgia-based, New Jersey-born Johnson (22-0-1, nine KOs) earned his title shot by stopping Devin Vargas in May. But World Boxing Association champion David Haye called out Klitschko this week, challenging him to take tougher fights. “There are probably 1 million dudes in America called Kevin Johnson, and beating one of them doesn’t make you an all-time great heavyweight,” Haye said. “They may be big in Switzerland, but so are yodelers, and no one wants to watch them fight.” The Associated Press
