Haye confident of winning shoot-out
David Haye has warned Wladimir Klitschko he is "coming to a gunfight unarmed" this summer while declaring his nemesis slow and one-dimensional.
The English WBA heavyweight champion will travel to Klitschko's adopted homeland of Germany in a July 2 unification clash with the Ukrainian's IBF and WBO titles also on the line.
"He's too slow, way too slow. He's coming to a gunfight unarmed and he's going to get destroyed, no doubt about it." said Haye.
"The way I see it, we're two animals. When you get two dogs in a fight, one of them has a few tricks and sits, rolls over, gives you his paw. That's him. I'm just a dog you can't control. You get two dogs in a fight and the toughest one wins.
"The one who is tougher mentally and physically. That's me. I'm a prime fighting machine and he is manufactured. Look at what he does. Jab, jab, grab. That's all he does."
Haye even claims German fans want him to beat "imposter" Klitschko.
The unification fight is being held in Hamburg, where the Ukraine-born fighter has a house and has been based for much of his career.
Haye, though, told Press Association Sport: "Even people in Germany are on my side.
"Wladimir is not German, he is Ukrainian. He is an imposter in their country and his German is worse than his English, apparently - and you know what his English is like!
"He tries to get his point across and he's not funny or entertaining. I've even met Ukrainians who think he's boring, so it's not a language issue. His point doesn't get lost in translation, he's just a boring human being inside and outside the ring and people are supporting me."
