Bernd Boente’s claim that “We had [British] people shaking Wladimir’s hand and telling him to knock Haye out because they do not like him” has led to a bit of fight week soul searching amongst British boxing fans looking forward to this Saturday’s Wladimir Klitschko versus David Haye WBO, IBF, IBO and WBA heavyweight unification bonanza at the Imtech Arena, Hamburg. Boente’s communiqué the latest in a long line of claim and counter claim ahead of the biggest heavyweight contest since Lennox Lewis met Mike Tyson in 2002.
