Chisora has a feeling that Haye might choose to run around the ring in wide circles similar to what he did against giant heavyweight champions Nikolay Valuev and Wladimir Klitschko in the past.

Haye says that’s not going to happen. He intends on slugging with Chisora and getting him out of there as fast as possible so that he can try and get a big money fight against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

Haye said to thesun.co.uk “Chisora will find out there’s a reason why I’ve got a 90 per cent knockout ratio, and it doesn’t come from running around the ring. Everyone I have sparred with or fought has asked me ‘How do you get so much?’ He [Chisora] will realize that when he’s on his back and the ref if counting to 10.”

Haye already got the better of Chisora in their post-fight press conference after Haye’s loss to Vitali last February in Munich, Germany. Haye laid Chisora out with a right hand to the chin. You could see right then that Haye had too much speed for the slower Chisora, and I expect this to be the same in the ring next month. Haye is simply the much faster fighter with bigger power and better punching form.

Haye can throw with huge power whether in close or at a distance. He’s dangerous at any distance, and if Haye opens up with one of his flurries, Chisora could be out of there in or two rounds. Haye only needs to open up with one flurry and he’ll likely halt Chisora.

Haye really wants a fight against Vitali Klitschko, but that bout is unlikely at this time because Vitali is talking about fighting one more time against WBC contender Manuel Charr in September and then retiring.
