Hide says he wanted fight! Friday, December 5 2008 Former WBO heavyweight champion and current cruiserweight contender Herbie Hide has commented on allegations from Sport Network that he agreed to fight Enzo Maccarinelli in London tomorrow, but then disappeared. "Warren and Maccarinelli have told everybody I would be running away from them thats just not true! I'm here and ready to go," states Hide. "In fact, Frank Warren knew all the time where I was. I have been in court with him because he still owes me money. Fact is that they offered me the fight only if I dropped the court case in return. I always said that I would take the fight as long as it doesnt affect any legal issues I have to solve with Warren." Hide and Warren met in court on Wednesday. "I told Warren, the BBBoC and my promoter Ahmet Öner that I would take on Maccarinelli whenever he wants. Its too bad that they already found some nameless tomato can for tomorrow.....as far as the 'Big Mac' is concerned, I will enjoy eating him alive! I heard Maccarinelli said I was the one guy in boxing he didnt like. Well, guess what, Enzo, when we meet in the ring I will be the one guy who really tears you apart. If you think David Haye can punch just wait until you feel the power of the 'Dancing Destroyer.' I will wipe the canvas with your a** wherever and whenever you want."
If ever there's a guy that you don't want to give a reason to shoot off at the mouth, it's Herbie Hide. He's not exactly a 'let sleeping dogs lie' kinda guy, he loves to get the last word.
