Apologies if this has been posted before guys; I haven't seen it: Vitali Klitschko has accused David Haye of overstepping the mark after the British boxer was shown in a mock-up photo with the decapitated head of his brother Wladimir. Wladimir proved he is the top heavyweight on the globe with a convincing win over Hasim Rahman in front of the Setanta cameras on Saturday night but a row has raged after the fight in Mannheim. Vitali, who is set to take Haye on in London next June, has threatened to exact revenge for the picture as he will enter the ring with a "cold heart". "I admit that I was shocked with what I saw in the Mens Health magazine and my wife even felt unwell," he told the Russian media. "It is difficult to describe my feelings at the moment. There is David Haye on the photo laughing with the head of my brother. "I came to David of course and said that it was too blatant and that he overstepped the mark. But, as a response, I got the words that he would beat my brother and then me. "I will reply for my brother. He must pay for this photo. I seldom feel inclined to fight but, this time, I will enter the ring with a cold heart. "You know lots of people said that they would knock my brother and me out. But it is well known what happened to them, the same would happen with Haye." Haye's gameplan might be to anger Vitali & take him off his but its not something I'd feel confident doing. Then again this could all just be hype from both parties - Vitali does seem genuinely upset though.
Fights are still too far from being made. But, i'll be please to pick you a nice little avatar when the time comes.
Haye won't give much of a ****. He was gonna' try anythin to get a fight and now he has his wish. If Haye loses, he will just say he didn't mean it and it was just to generate interest.
Vitali carries on like this he could be the third Haye opponent in a row to approach the ring at an angry charge. Haye does have a talent for getting under opponent's skins. Hopefully he won't try to hurdle the ropes in stride like Barrett, could put a shoulder out.
his wife felt unwell? for christs sake, what is the world coming to. Haye has got his wish which is the big fight, it doesn't really need hyping from here. Vitali needs to dry his eyes.
