ENZO MACCARINELLI admits he is more scared of his 5ft 3in trainer than 6ft 5in rival David Haye.
The world cruiserweight champ bids to add Haye’s WBC and WBA belts to his WBO version when they go head-to-head at London’s O2 Arena late next Saturday night.
Welshman Maccarinelli, 27, has been whipped into shape by trainer Enzo Calzaghe.
Big Mac, who is 6ft 4in, said: “Enzo’s only a little guy, I tower over him. But I tell you, everyone in the gym is scared of him.
“I’d certainly be more worried about upsetting Enzo by not putting proper graft in than Haye in the ring.”
Haye, 27, said: “Fans will see the difference between the undisputed champion and a paper champion.
“His bubble is going to pop real quick. If I could have chosen anyone who will make me look a million dollars it’s Maccarinelli.”
