David Haye and Vitali Klitschko meet in Frankfurt on September the 12th, and Vitali, the older of the Klitschko brothers, is determined to make Haye pay for his besmirching of the Klitschko family name.
The huge Ukrainian told the Daily Mirror that he will give Haye a lesson the brash Londoner will never forget. “He's insulted the Klitschko family and now he finally gets his punishment. I'll shut his big mouth,” blasted Vitali.
Vitali is 10-years older than Haye at 38; despite this age deficit he is considered by many to be the best heavyweight in the world. Although stiff and robotic Vitali is tough, he will be a bigger challenge to Haye's heavyweight hopes than Wlad Klitschko, who brings a lot of vulnerability to the boxing ring.
However, Haye is convinced that he can make good on Lennox Lewis' “A Klitschko for breakfast and one for dinner” claims, David is adamant that he can beat both fighters, and will get a chance to test this theory in Germany.
