WBA heavyweight champion David Haye told The Sun that he doesn't plan to watch Vitali Klitschko's defense of the WBC title against Shannon Briggs, taking place later tonight in Hamburg, Germany. Instead, Haye will continue training for his November defense against Audley Harrison in Manchester. Haye considers Klitschko-Briggs a very predictable fight with only one possible outcome - a Klitschko win by knockout.
"Vitali-Briggs? I won't bother," Haye said. "Vitali is fighting a 38-year-old guy who is a chronic asthmatic. I anticipate Briggs getting slowly broken down and knocked out. For someone with asthma he has shown a lot of heart."
"Briggs turns up, shouts, screams, rips his T-shirt off and dyes his dreadlocks blond. It is pantomime for Germans - but real boxing people know their fight is a waste of time."
