I'm not angry but I will make him pay, says Klitschko

Wladimir Klitschko is promising a grizzly ending for Dereck Chisora. The WBO and IBF heavyweight champion puts both titles on the line against the London in the Germany leg of Gr8 Britain versus The World, live on Sky Box Office HD. Chisora has been running down the giant Ukrainian since arriving in Mannheim saying he will take both belts, plus the champions celebrity girlfriend, Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere, when the two meet on December 11. But Klitschko says the trash-talking does not bother him and he will respond in the ring. "As a fighter I think he's talented. I think he's better than David Haye, " he told Sky Sports News. "Chisora the person is full of garbage, so I have got to care about the boxing stuff. He's going to give me a good challenge in the ring. "I think he's going to start pretty good - but he's going to end up pretty bad."

Behaviour

For now though, Chisora appears to have got under the champion's skin. He has blasted the 34-year-old for fighting a succession of "taxi drivers" but insists he was only answering questions put to him, not looking to wind up a man who has not lost in six years. But Klitschko hit back, branded the Londoner 'a woman beater', after he was handed three-month suspended sentence for assaulting his ex-girlfriend in November. "It's not about getting me angry, it's about the behaviour of this man and I believe the way he was raised is probably questionable," he said. "The way the man behaves himself; that he bites the ear in a fight, that he beats up his girlfriiend who cannot punch back and he's complaining about my challengers? He called them cab drivers. "He says I am an old man going down and he's a young man coming up. That's a lot of talk, but I will also ask him please don't miss the last press conference before the fight because there are a couple of things I really need to tell Dereck Chisora."
