Chisora said to Sky Sports News “I’m going to be the craziest I’ve been when I come into the ring. Everything has gone well for me. I have no injuries and it’s going to be a great fight.”

Let’s hope so, because there’s been so much hype about this fight, and to learn that it’s going to be a 10 round bout, it’s kind of a let down already unless there’s a knockout. Chisora usually plays it pretty clean in the ring for the most part. Occasionally he’ll do something weird like he did in biting one of his opponents several years ago, but that was a rare event.

About the only thing that Chisora does that you could consider dirty is throw rabbit punches and hold and hit. But if Chisora does any of those things you can expect Haye to return fire with the same kinds of shots tenfold. Haye is capable of fighting dirty as well, and his hand speed makes him particularly dangerous when he’s fouling. The referee will have a tough time keeping control of this fight. Let’s hope that he doesn’t let the two fighters foul one another all night long without taking control over the situation and putting a stop to it by taking points off.

Haye is predicting an early KO, and doesn’t see the fight going beyond the 2nd round.

Haye said “I hope he comes in with something new, because if he comes in like he did in his last fight, he’ll get blasted out in two rounds…He’s getting knocked out quick. 8, 9, 10 is what you’ll get. I’ve knocked you out already. You’ve lost your last three fights…I wouldn’t be surprised if he walks into a big shot.”
