GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany - Wladimir Klitschko promised to teach David Haye a lesson after the Briton showed up at a news conference Thursday wearing a T-shirt depicting himself holding the dismembered, bloody heads of both Klitschko brothers. This content is protected World heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko, left, and challenger David Haye are pictured at a press conference at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, Thursday, April 16, 2009. Klitschko said he would educate Haye about proper behaviour before knocking him out in the final round of their IBF and WBO heavyweight title fight that is expected to attract a crowd of 60,000 at Schalke's stadium on June 20. "That is terrible. It's unspeakable, it's impudent," Klitschko said. "I am going to give him a lesson in good behaviour. "First, I wanted to knock him out in the first round. But now I want to make it a long process and I want to enjoy it, and then I will knock him out in the 12th round. "I hope he doesn't go down too early." Klitschko is usually well-mannered and rarely makes knockout predictions, but Haye hit a nerve - and he didn't stop there. "There is no chance the fight will go to 12 rounds, unless he gets a chin transplant. It will be his last fight. When I beat him to bits, he will retire. Vitali will throw in the towel to save you, he will pick you off the floor," Haye said of Wladimir's older brother and WBC heavyweight champion. Haye unified the cruiserweight titles before moving up a division and win two fights by knockout for an overall 22-1 record (21 KOs). The Briton, who will train in north Cyprus, said it doesn't matter what he will weigh for the fight. "He'll find I'm a real heavyweight," Haye said. "My weight is not important as long as I am fit, healthy and motivated - 205 pounds is enough to fight Wladimir. I've been losing weight all my career. Now, I'm coming in at my normal weight." The 28-year-old Haye, who is five years younger than Klitschko, criticized the Ukrainian's previous opponents. "I am in my prime. I want to fight him now because otherwise he'll be running if I keep knocking people out," Haye said. "He has been fighting over-the-hill people. "He will realize I am the real deal. I've watched a lot of him and I'm not impressed - jab, jab, jab, grab. He's been fighting people so old and out of shape they fall over after a few rounds." However, Klitschko said Haye will pay for his relative youth and inexperience. Klitschko has a 52-3 record with 46 KOs. But he has been knocked out by Ross Puritty, Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster, raising questions about his chin. "He has made himself very loud, but he is young and he still doesn't know how to keep his emotions in check," Klitschko said. "I am really looking forward to this fight. I have been waiting a long time." Haye said it was his idea to design the T-shirt. Last year, he posed for a photo montage with the mock head of Wladimir. "I wanted to get his attention, to show that I'm in business," Haye said. "And now I've declared war on the entire family, Vitali will have to avenge his brother, and then I'll beat him too." :happy goodness me, this is ganna be sensational i hope getting under wlads skin works for Haye but this could be another Ali vs Tarrell
haye declare's war, i love it damn..boxing's been crying out for a heavyweight bout like this for years
Haye's work is done. If he gets under Wlad's skin, then Wlad gets aggressive and comes forward instead of pawing the jab from distance. If he does that and gets into a brawl, Haye's better leverage at close range, greater mobility and speed means Wlad gets knocked the **** out.
True: Haye's best shot is if Wlad tries to teach him a lesson and knock him out. I don't think that Haye can outbox Wlad, but if Wlad exchanges, Haye has a very good chance. Wlad needs to keep his cool...
Yeah, I bet they have a good laugh together over all this, when alone behind the scenes. Its all a promo ploy for the cameras and to make money come showtime, period.
agreed. wlad is gonna be so mad he aint gonna be thinking, and it'll affect his game. he'll rush out wanting to tear haye's head off and will ****ing impale himself on haye's punches
wishful thinking. Wlad has been around to long to just fall for this ****. Go ahead and think that. Go ahead and underestimate wlads mental toughness with this **** talking. :roll:I hope Haye does as well
THis is Mayweather/toney trash talk. Both are fragile around the wiskers....interesting that the Klits have wanted rematch clauses...that isnt the best signal to give is it? are they confident...or suprised they are facing someone with genuin ambition
rematch clauses are normal.... business is business it has NOTHING to do with confidence. to try and connect the 2 is pointless:nono
You can dream up any outcome you like but when you wake up your hero haye will be splattered like all the rest.
