Klitschko Will Knockout Haye in Biggest Heavyweigh​t Bout Since Lewis-Tyso​n

IBF, IBO and WBO king “Dr. Steelhammer” Wladimir Klitschko, is tentatively scheduled to battle WBA titlist David “The Hayemaker” Haye in a heavyweight unification bout July 2 at a soccer stadium in Hamburg, Germany.

For nearly two years, Haye has run his mouth like a clown pocket without putting a granule of action behind his words.

Miraculously, Haye (25-1, 23 KOs) will finally step into the squared circle against Klitschko (55-3, 49 KOs) and display testicular fortitude.

Klitschko acknowledged to SportsIllustrated.CNN.com that Haye’s wavering was frustrating.

“It was annoying,” said Wladimir, 34, who has emerged victorious in 13 consecutive prizefights since he lost to Lamon Brewster by a fifth round TKO in April of 2004. “It was pathetic.”

“Dr. Steelhammer” claimed he bowed during negotiations to strip Haye of any excuses.

“He got whatever he wants,” said Klitschko. “I gave in and said ‘whatever.’ It’s a 50-50 split with no options. There was no other way. Now, I have him in a corner. He can do nothing but show up and fight.”

“The Hayemaker” won his title from Nikolai Valuev in Nuremberg in 2009.

Haye, 30, the former unified cruiserweight champion who relinquished his crowns to emulate the heavyweight accomplishments of Evander Holyfield, last fought in March, when he defeated Methuen’s John Ruiz (44-9-1-1, 30 KOs) by a ninth-round TKO.

Haye possesses decent power in both of his fists and he is extremely quick and in superb physical condition.

Hence, “The Hayemaker” hasn’t been trumped since he lost to Carl Thompson (34-6, 25 KOs) by a fifth-round TKO at Wembley Arena in October of 2004.

Haye apparently expressed his desire to fight Wladimir rather than the Ukrainian’s older brother, WBC heavyweight king Vitali (41-2, 38 KOs).

“I said to him, ‘Vitali, David Haye doesn’t want to fight you. He says he wants to fight the little brother, the weak one. He’s mine.’”

Wladimir versus Haye is boxing’s most marquee heavyweight bout since Lennox Lewis throttled “Iron” Mike Tyson in June of 2002.

Despite the likelihood that this contest will ultimately prove to be a colossal mismatch, the matchup should be a tremendous boon for the lagging heavyweight division.

Nevertheless, Haye is largely an unproven commodity and he does not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as either Klitschko brother.

Klitschko, who captured a gold medal as a super heavyweight at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, is a plotting and meticulous fighter despite his enormous size and strength.

However, because Haye has excessively flapped his gums and infuriated the entire Klitschko kin, expect“Dr. Steelhammer” to actually throw some violent “Hayemaker’s” in a few months.

“In the end, I’ll knock him out,” Klitschko confidently predicted.

Unfortunately for the boisterous Englishman, Klitschko is absolutely correct.

“Dr. Steelhammer” will easily knock the “Hayemaker” onto Queer Street within eight rounds this summer.
