David Haye well prepared for Wladimir Klitschko
June 25th, 2011
By John F. McKenna (McJack): WBC heavyweight champion Davie Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) told the Telegraph Sport on Friday that he could not be better prepared for his July 2 unification title fight showdown with IBF, IBO, WBO and Ring Magazine title holder Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s).
As repugnant as Haye’s trash talking is seen by many boxing fans, it is doubtful that the Haye – Klitschko fight would be taking place if Haye had not resorted to such tactics.
David Haye was quoted in the Telegraph Star as saying: “I live for these moments when I am tested to the core. I’m more focused than for any other fight, and there is always an element of fear when you face an experienced champion. It has forced me into the best preparation of my career.”
Haye went on to say, “I’ve been reinvigorated in this camp, partly because the end of my career is in sight, but also because I know it’s the toughest challenge of my life.
“Everything in the build up has been so right. Often there are bumps in the road on the way through a training camp, but physically I’ve never been in better condition and mentally I’m better prepared then ever before.”
At this stage every facet of Haye’s training camp is carefully coordinated by his brain trust to allow no room for error. Haye and his manager/trainer Adam Booth take his training very seriously and go over all his activities with a fine tooth comb, including his diet.
Even the hype surrounding Haye’s quest to take Klitschko’s belts away from him seems to be managed. In the last couple of weeks British boxing celebrities Amir Khan, Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe have all been dutifully trotted out to the media to predict victory for their fellow countryman. This will no doubt continue right up to the day of the fight.
Every little bit helps. Even if it has nothing to do with the outcome of the fight, it sells tickets and adds excitement to the event.

W. Klitchko may not be able to perform his usual boring boxing style, I have seen many WK fights where he just holds his arm out against his opponent’s head to stop him getting in close. This may not work with Haye due to his speed. Furthermore, WK deserves to lose, I remember years back when he went KO and claimed that someone must have put something into his water, that he suddenly felt groggy and cound not concentrate, a load of lies and a bad looser just like his brother after loosing to Lennox Lewis. I hope this fight is an exception to WK’s other fights, most of them are boring, not much happens then his opponent drops and collects his wages.
Davi is very prepared, he will come into the ring sporting a Larry Fine hairstyle. Leve him alone Moe!
BREAKING NEWS!!!! Haye’s family members just order a big pine box, scheduled to be delivered next Sunday.
Hayes always in top shape but so is the K’s there the only heavys that are it asnt been for years that there have been 2 in top shape heavyweights fight each other people should be excited bout this because it’ll will really bring the best out of each fighter.
Haye declined handshakes during the face-off and wanted to shake hands after the fight. Well, Haye will NOT remember handshakes until he wakes up in the Emergency Room. Anyway, Klitzchko will come and shake his hands and open his mouth in the hospital after the fight.
Wald is to big and strong for haye,haye will get stoped..
John b your some muppet!! Another F.a.g who fancies haye
Since when was Haye WBC champ??
Hey Martin. Your a joke. Ross Purity got beat senseless for 11 rounds. The man took a beating and Wlad jus used to much power and wore himself out. Wlad has perfected his game and doesnt even get hit nowadays. Haye has NO experiance and will be completely destroyed in short fashion. He’s a fraud.
What was Haye supposed to say? Im not prepared for this fight? Haye says he has the answer for Wlad. what was he supposed to say? I have no clue what to do with Wlad? Haye sounds just like all the other Heavies that face Wlad..until they’re face down doin mattress commercials. This will be a 1 sided azz kickin by Wlad Klitschko. I wouldnt be surprised if Haye gets knocked out by a jab.
Martin#1 Britard
haye is funny not being ready for the k brothers. david can never be ready for them . i trust me. i put 50 k on vladimir . its normal as he shall surely win. see the fight
Oh my god john b well done your right haha your an awful clown
Sorry I&I, but you’re wrong about tyson: he also went the distance vs mitch green and razor ruddock…2 fighters he dominated from beginning to end ( you only had to look at their faces ).Some of you guys have some boxing history revising to do.
Martin
Haye is a 1 trick pony and is very predictable other than his looping right hand what else does he have in his arsenal? Nothing after that and Wlad would have a field day with haye i bet you.
To Anonymous,remember Ross purity?battered the granny out of Klitschko.klitschko has the punch resistance of my Aunt Aggy,he reels like a drunk when clipped and doesn’t recover.
The Londoner will starch the one dimensional Ukrainian.Haye will be his first live opponent for years.
Viva the Londoner, Haye,long may he reign.At least he won’t be defending against an American heavyweight;they ain’t got any!
Are you judging this fight on Hayes physical appearance or on haye’s boxing short comings? You say conditioning can you define what you mean by the word conditioning? Haye has a very poor conditioning if you ask me and has a very poor cardio and that why he comes out try and end a fight quickly and he reminds me of tyson because tyson had a poor cardio too so he used his power to end fights really quickly and tsyon only had two UD wins in his career over tony tucker and bone crusher smith. And again they say he is quick but his movement slows after a couple of rounds and he is very predictable.
David, there is still time to withdraw and do so with honor. It would not go very well for your fellow Brits if you are severely thrashed come July 2nd. All your colourful barbs will be meaningless at that point.
H A Y = V I C T I M
oh yeah, martin, I forgot, Wlad is very slow, weak and unskilled.
Really WTF r you talking about. Wlad was faster than Ibragimov and Chambers.
Bye Bye Vladimir you mean son.Vlad has been fed a diet of no hopers,stiffs,bums and fat blokes in the recent past.He is very limited,knows only one way to fight since he was sparked by very ordinary heavyweights and now will be gun shy when he meets Haye.Haye will be far too quick for him and I expect his long frame to be stretched out on the canvas sometime before the 10th round.
Adios klitschko!
David Haye hired a private detective to look for his head after the 2nd of July…
JUST SIX DAYS TO GO. BYE BYE HAY FAKE
TICK-TACK!!! TICK-TACK!!! DAVEY’S HOLE IS ALREADY PLAYING
I think David Haye will reign for another week.
Bye-bye Haye, you will loose this bout and shut your mouth up.
Give Wlad handshake after bout,dont be such a coward
Bye-bye Haye, you will loose this bout and shut your mouth up.
If Haye doesn’t send WK KO in Hamburg then he will lose on points, even if he is the better boxer on the night. I have been living in Germnay since 1975 and seen this happen many a time. I have even seen fights where the German boxer (or foreign boxer fighting for a German boxing gym) took such a pasting, was covered in blood, could hardly stand and still won on points, even though they hardly threw a punch, no joke.
Why this author is repeating to say that David Haye is a WBC champion? He is WBA strip holder. WBC HW champion is Vitaly Klitschko!
I feel so bad for David and his family. For all his bravada he is a lovely chap and totally misunderstood. Hopefully Wlad will take it easy on him and not harm him too severely.
Poor David Haye! His fans are going to be so, so sad!
Haye inside 4 rounds
message for andy k……….it’s etc not ect , you’re as thick as the comment you made!
THE only thing is well prepared is his stretcher, and ambulance waiting for him outside the arena, a free ride to the hospital
Haye gonobe nailed like a mosqito,too much taiking sh..t,have to be punish big time …
hAYE TO KO WLAD!
Haye will lose
Ghay should go on the run run
He couldn’t be that well prepared if he a married man is keeping company with chorus girls before he went into camp.
The talking is over time for haye to be demoralized in the ring by DR STEEL HAMMER!!!
David Haye can say how great he feels ect but it doesnt change the simple fact that he is an awful boxer who has not fought one single fighter of any use to date
I can’t wait for Haye-Klitschko, Khan-Judah, May-Ortiz and Pac-Marquez… a great summer for boxing fans.
been watching boxing a long time, im yet to see a boxer claim to be under prepared before a fight
