By William Mackay: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) is daring WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) to wear his t-shirt depicting Haye holding the severed heads of the Klitschko brothers. Haye had a t-shirt made before his failed fight with Wladimir in 2009 and wore the t-shirt to one of their press conferences. Wladimir was really angered by the t-shirt and still wants to pay Haye back for wearing it. But he’s now daring Haye to wear it again.

Speaking with thesun.co.uk, Wladimir said “The t-shirt business showing him with out heads off was totally stupid. I strongly believe he feels greally bad about it now even if he says he has no regrets. If he had no regrets he would wear that t-shirt one more time. But he does not way to because it was stupid…My task is to show him how to behave himself.”

It looks like Wladimir wants some extra motivation to really give a pounding in their July 2nd fight. I doubt that he really needs it at this point because he’s already got enough bad blood built up to one to beat Haye senseless. Any bit extra is only going to make Wladimir fight stupid and perhaps cause him to fight Haye’s fight. Wladimir needs to stay mentally focused and realize that he has to continue to do the things that brought him this far. If he gets into the pit to fight Haye’s fight, Wladimir will be giving the faster Haye the only chance he has to win the bout. Wladimir’s trainer Emanuel Steward wants him to be more aggressive for the Haye bout, but it may be that Wladimir doesn’t have the chin to fight as aggressively as Steward wants him to.
