Heavyweight contender David Haye, after he weighed in at 218-pounds, vowed to back up his prediction of a sensational knockout of WBA champion Nikolai Valuev on Saturday night in Germany. The 7'2 giant weighed 315-pounds. Nobody has been able to hurt or drop Valuev. Haye, a former cruiserweight champion, believes he can put the giant to sleep.
"When I envisaged winning the heavyweight title it was against someone big, obviously, but not this big. But I feel I've got the skill, the will and the heart to go out there, knock this Russian out and bring this title back to Britain," Haye said.
Valuev was joined at the scales by his co-promoter from America, Don King. The veteran promoter shouted his own prediction over and over - "Valuev by knockout!" King said Valuev is not only going to win but he is confident the big Goliath will crush David.
"Nikolai will knockout Haye, that is all that matters: Knockout Haye!" said King.
