By William Mackay: Photo: Stefan Hoyer – If you saw yesterday’s press conference with David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko you’ll notice immediately how nervous Haye was when he was speaking in front of the group of reporters. Haye’s voice was cracking and he looked like he was giving a speech for the first time in his life. It was uncomfortable watching Haye sweat bullets while talking, because the bold words that were coming out of his mouth promising pain for Wladimir this Saturday didn’t match his body.
It was like Haye was saying one thing but his body was saying something completely contrary to that. Wladimir noticed this as well, and is now worried that Haye may burn himself out before the fight with his nervousness.
Here is what Wladimir had to say to Sky Sports News: “This press conference I found totally disrespectful for the sport. You cannot joke about certain things. David Haye said he wants to handicap me, to put me in the hospital. Boxing is a very intense sport. There has been some deaths in the sport. There has been some people that have been handicaped in fights. I wish David Haye after this fight he will be healthy and that he doesn’t wind up in the hospital. I think that it’s just I was embarrassed to sit right next to hear that in public, because he put a certain shadow on the sport. And I think that David Haye needs a rehab. He needs a reality rehab on July 2nd. That exactly what he needs. This fight is going to be very important for his future because I am going to put David Haye’s feet on the ground. He’s become really cocky, really arrogant, disrespectful. He was late 45 minutes for this press conference. I hope he won’t be late for the fight. He’s acting like a super champion and a diva. He doesn’t want to shake my hand, and I hope he won’t be late. And this reality rehab is going to be good for David Haye’s future because I believes he needs to put his feet back on the ground. I’m really worried about David Haye. He was pumped with adrenalin at the press conference. It’s way too early. I hope he doesn’t burn himself out because there’s still five days to go. Now is Klitschko time. Welcome to the Klitschko world. The closer we get to the fight, and the fight itself when we’re sweating in the ring looking at each other. It’s going to be actuality, not just reality. I hope, as I said before, that he’s not going to burn himself out. He’s way too hyped up right now too early. The way he was disrespectful and disgraceful. The way he talked to to me. It was a monologue while we were facing each other. You didn’t have a mic and nobody could hear it, thank God! No matter what, I have no respect for David Haye as a human. I do have a certain respect for David Haye as a fighter. I know exactly what to do. I won’t underestimate him, but I won’t no way overestimate David Haye in this fight. So, he said he’s going to prepare something really very special. I’m ready for it. Let’s do it. It’s Klitschko time coming on Saturday.”
