WBA champion has no doubts over outcome of unification bout
WBA champion David Haye claims Wladimir Klitschko is ready-made for him after finally securing a unification showdown.
After months of wrangling, Haye will now take on Klitschko, holder of the IBF and WBO belts, in Germany on June 25 or July 2.
And Haye has no doubt over the outcome once he steps into the ring to face the Ukrainian.
"I have been chasing this fight since day one, because I know boxing styles and I know which styles I have success against," he said.
"Klitschko is ready-made for me. I eat tall, chinny eastern European heavyweights for breakfast. Wladimir is a fighter that doesn't like to fight, and he has admitted that fact in the past.
"Unfortunately for him, I am a fighter that loves nothing more than fighting.
"I have the heart of lion, whereas Wladimir has the heart of a hyena. He cries and squeals and slips into the wilderness at the first sign of danger. Wladimir has proven this over the years, and I'm certain he will want no part of this lion when it finally comes time to go to war."
Destiny
Haye insists that despite the swapping of insults and accusations over the previous breakdown of talks he had no doubt that the fight would happen.
"I always believed we'd one day fight and I'm glad we've cut through the nonsense and put together the most important fight in the heavyweight division," Haye said.
"This is the match the boxing world has been calling for since I first decided to step into the heavyweight division, and I feel it is my destiny to fight and beat Wladimir Klitschko.
"We are the best two heavyweights in the world and it would have been a travesty for us to have never fought.
"This is an inevitable fight with an inevitable conclusion. Wladimir Klitschko is getting violently knocked out."
