GOING, AUSTRIA - IBF/IBO/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine is training hard at the hotel Stanglwirt in Going, Austria. Klitschko is preparing for his heavily hyped unification bout with WBA king David Haye of England, which is scheduled for July 2 in Hamburg, Germany.

Trainer Emanuel Steward feels that it's necessary for WBA champion David Haye to take risks in his July 2 unification bout with WBO/IBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Steward, who trains Klitschko, expects Haye to come out swinging with the hope of landing something big to Wladimir's chin. Steward respects Haye and considers the bout a "must-win" situation because a loss will always hang over Klitschko's head and overshadow his past accomplishments.

Emanuel Steward, trainer of WBO/IBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, expects WBA champion David Haye to be very dangerous in the early rounds of their July 2 showdown in Hamburg, Germany. During the pre-fight verbal back and forth, Steward didn't seem to be too concernced with Haye's talents, but he does seem concernced with Haye's speed and power in the early portion of the fight. He credits Haye with being the best speed/power boxer that Klitschko has ever been up against in his entire career.

Manny Steward says David Haye will pay for getting Wladimir Klitschko angry - and won't last four rounds when they clash in Hamburg next month.

Ask any boxer to name the single most important part of training camp and I'd imagine most of them would pinpoint sparring as number one. Sparring helps us fighters improve timing and reactions, as well as familiarise ourselves with sensations and certain strategies we will try to implement on the night of the fight. It is also important to reach an ideal balance between doing too much sparring and not enough.
