David Haye is sounding like a man obsessed. He says that every single day, he is focused on fighting WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. He wants everything that Klitschko has. At every turn, Haye has been calling Klitschko out and even following the champion around during London charity appearances. 

"Every day I want what Klitschko has - and I'm going to take it off him. Downtime? I don't want it, nor do I need it. I'll be 30 in two years, and the clock is ticking. I'm focused 24/7 on the prize - the world heavyweight crown, and then the unification of the crown," Haye told UK outlet, The Telegraph. "These current champions have made a mockery of what was once considered 'the richest prize in sport'. Thirty six months is not a long time, I can live a quiet life in Cyprus. We live well here, the climate is fantastic, the organic food is great here, life is healthy."

After he unified the cruiserweight division in November, Haye set his sights on the heavyweight division. He plans to start the hevyweight journey in the fall. He wants a top-ten opponent to move up the ladder.

"Whoever it is, it will be a top-ten contender. Hasim Rahman and Oleg Maskaev have been in the frame, but nothing is confirmed yet. I want my ride to be exciting for the fans. Lennox Lewis was the last great heavyweight - he dominated the division and fought all the contenders and destroyed them - I'm a long way off that yet. Klitschko is a weak No 1 for the division, and it needs setting to rights."

"I do feel I can beat anyone out there, but from a marketing point of view, I want to have two fights, and then build towards it. He's predictable, and I'm going to exploit that with speed and footwork. Believe me, I am going to be Klitschko's nemesis when we meet in the ring."
