WBA heavyweight champion David Haye sees the April 3 defense against John Ruiz as being an exciting fight. He thinks the style of Ruiz will provide him with the opening to make it an exciting fight. Haye wants to make a huge statement by becoming the first man since David Tua to knock Ruiz out.
"He comes towards me, he never runs from people," said Haye to Sky Sports. "He comes out there and tries to press the action and press the fight and it will give me plenty of openings to counter him. I'm going to be dishing him out Haye all night long, he's going to be eating it all day."
After Ruiz, Haye will target the Klitschko brothers. Over the last year Haye has been calling out the two brothers. There is a rivalry brewing and that's something he views as an important item for his own career.
"Without rivalries nobody is interested," said Haye. "Lennox Lewis fought Evander Holyfield twice, Evander Holyfield fought Riddick Bowe three times. Even in horse racing you need these battles."
