Tyson Fury has the size to trouble Wladimir Klitschko, but the Ukrainian remains the clear favourite to win in Dusseldorf, says David Haye.
Fury has been sounding increasingly confident in the build-up to Saturday's showdown in Germany with the 27-year-old insisting he can overcome odds of "seven billion to one" to get his hands on his opponent's WBA, WBO and IBF belts.
Haye, who recently announced a comeback after a three-year absence from the ring, believes Fury should not be discounted.
The 35-year-old Haye, who twice withdrew from fights with Fury due to injury, told Sky Sports News HQ: "The good thing about boxing is that anything can happen.
"You can't say it's a foregone conclusion, especially when your dealing with a guy as big as Tyson Fury. All it takes is one punch and you've got a new No 1 in the division.
"My prediction is Klitschko will either walk Fury onto a big shot early, drop him and once he feels Klitschko's power he will go for broke and swing and get knocked out....or it will be a boring 12-round clinch-fest.
"Tactically, Fury needs to be perfect. He can't get stuck into a jabbing contest because Klitschko is the master of jabbing. Tyson has slow feet and he bounces slowly.
"He will have to use his height advantage. Klitschko is not used to be dealing with men bigger than him. Fury needs to get through those menacing straight punches. It will be a hard night's work.
"It will be interesting though because when you've got big guys throwing big bombs, anything can happen."
Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury, exclusively live on Sky Sports Box Office on November 28, is now available to order via your Sky remote and online.
