Wladmimir Klitschko trainer Emanuel Steward believes that Dereck Chisora could earn a title shot should he beat David Haye.
Chisora faces Haye tonight in the bout considered to be a grudge match between the two British fighters.
Chisora was hand-picked by Klitschko, but the unified heavyweight champion twice pulled out of the fights, opting to take on David Haye last summer instead. However, he could still get a title shot after his display against Wladimir's brother Vitali.
"From Wladmir's point of view I would like Dereck to win," Steward told Boxing News. "Even if Haye looks sensational I don't think Wladimir would fight him again.
"Ideally he would like to fight Chisora next but Wladimir believes David Haye will be too fast and explosive.
"I will watch on the TV but it is hard to pick."
Klitschko made the latest defence of his titles at the weekend, stopping former rival Tony Thompson in five rounds.
