    Wlad knows he has a KO victory waiting for him, but in which round will Haye get destroyed?.

    TBH I thought it was Haye that came across as a little frayed around the edges.

    You have to remember it's not easy to be funny and to the point when speaking in a foreign language, I still give Wlad credit, he can probably speak better English than haye.

    If I were Haye and Wlad I would be pissed off. This is the chance to get this fight out there to the general public, but Sky for some weird reason seem intent on ****ing up the coverage! This is like the first big publicity thing in the UK and it's not being aired properly. That is NOT acceptable.

    Biggest fight in the heavy division for a long time and involving a UK fighter and we're being sold down the river. **** you sky.

    from where sky tv left from Read from bottom up:

    Tim Hobbs:
    Adam Booth finally steps in and calls a halt. Everyone scurries off to the interviews, which is my cue to leave you too...
    2:17
    Tim Hobbs:
    The camermen crowd round... and Haye and Klitschko are stood staring. Six minutes this lasted in Germany yesterday... we could be a while folks!
    2:16
    Tim Hobbs:
    Now for the head-to-head...
    2:15
    Tim Hobbs:
    Wlad offers a pound bet that he KO's Haye in the 12th and final round... and that is that!
    2:14
    Tim Hobbs:
    Both are asked about predictions... Haye won't give an exact prediction. "I'll send the text out at a later date. As a start to hone in I might see I can hold him for five or six rounds, or take him out earlier. We'll see what the odds are... not that I'd ever bet on myself!"
    2:13
    Tim Hobbs:
    Wlad conducts a straw poll. Hands up who thinkls Haye is going to win. Team Hayemaker, including George Groves who's here, shoot their arms up. I'm keeping my head down and typing away... he's not more than 10ft from me! And if Haye thinks Wlad's chinny...
    2:12
    Tim Hobbs:
    "I can outbox him, out-fight him, mid-range, long range... and I can out-jab him. I can out-jab you you know," says Haye.
    2:11
    Tim Hobbs:
    Does David Haye respect anything abotu Wladimir Klitschko?
    "You've got to respect his consistency. For boredom..."
    2:10
    Tim Hobbs:
    Wlad tells us he didn't care about the nationality of the boxer, says it was his manager's choice. "I am a fighter in the ring and I care about nothing else." Boente points to the Lewis fight... when big brother Vitali was stopped on cuts, ahead on the cards, of course...
    2:09
    Tim Hobbs:
    "I hope it's going to be more exciting that the Audley Harrison fight!" Klitschko hits back!
    2:08
    Tim Hobbs:
    "If any of you are struggling with insomnia, watch a few Klitschko fights," says Haye when asked how this is not going to be horing...
    2:07
    Tim Hobbs:
    Adam Booth says the only reason the fight wasn't in Britain is because Wladimir wanted his German doctor in the corner with him and the British Board of Boxing Control don't allow that... but Haye will have an English doc with him!
    2:07
    Tim Hobbs:
    The Sun's Colin Hart asks about the officials and Boente tells us nothing has been decided. "All we want is absolutely neutral officials." Adam Booth says the governing bodies will get together to decide the man in the middle...
    2:06
    Tim Hobbs:
    Fair enough Paul L - but not everyone is a Haye fan! Even over here!
    2:05

    Comment From Paul L
    Can someone tell him to stop trying to charm us - it won't work. It's like trying to convince me to support the Ukraine at football when I'm Englishman - get off!
    2:04

    Tim Hobbs:
    Bernd Boente tells us the first plan was to box at Stamford Bridge - Wlad knows Roman Abramovich! But obvioyusly that never happened and then, once Gelsenkirchen was ruled out, Hamburg it had to be!
    2:04

    Tim Hobbs:
    Haye makes it clear he was willing to give away - suggesting Klitschko wasn't.
    2:02

    Tim Hobbs:
    "There were a few concessions to be made," says Adam Booth.
    "If he needs me to come in second, go to a certain corner - I thought we could flip a coin as we're both champions - then it wasn't a big deal for me. If he wants to walk in second for his final fight, that's fine."
    2:02

    Tim Hobbs:
    Wlad, not known for his fast feet in the ring, sidesteps the question and sings the virtues of the Imtech Arena and the atmosphere we can expect on the night.
    2:00

    Tim Hobbs:
    Wlad is asked about how he is first on the poster, second into the ring and boxing at 'home' - he lives in Hamburg - and whether he shou'd have shared more of these advantages in a unification fight...
    2:00

    Tim Hobbs:
    "I won't underestimate David Haye," says Klitschko. "For all the joking this is a serious business. You can play basketball, you can play rugby, but you can't play boxing."
    1:59

    Tim Hobbs:
    "It might be if I break my hand on his face." Boom!
    1:57

    Tim Hobbs:
    "Could this be your last fight? If you lose it will you quit?"
    1:57

    Tim Hobbs:
    Sky Sports News Craig Slater kicks off the questions...
    1:57

    Tim Hobbs:
    There wll be another press conference in Germany fight week...
    1:56

    Tim Hobbs:
    "I don't want to under-estimate David Haye. I want to give David Haye as a fighter a lot of respect... in a cetain way. It's going to be tough."
    1:56

    Tim Hobbs:
    He then says his brother, Vitali, a doctor will treat him for post-traumatic stress, for free, as a favour!
    1:55

    Tim Hobbs:
    Disrespectful and rude... Wlad tells Haye he will teach him how to behave in the ring. And he says he wll fight him for 112 long rounds and knock you out in the 12th and final round...
    1:55

    Tim Hobbs:
    Klitschko says he made this fight happen... "You're gonna be number 50 and be my number 50. Congratulations. You're gonna get the biggest pay cheque of all my opponents."
