"It's all about timing in boxing. I think Haye's move up to heavyweight is a good move for him, and his departure leaves a door open for me. I'm not disappointed that a fight between me and Haye didn't come off - that would have been a very hard fight for me. I've sparred a lot with David in the past, and he is easily as good as, if not better than, all the other top fighters I've sparred. He will definitely win a belt up at heavyweight."
