Wladimir Klitschko: I felt embarrassed by the way David Haye acted in press conference – Boxing news
The International Boxing Federation, World Boxing Organisation, International Boxing Organisation and Ring Magazine World Heavyweight Champion, Wladimir Klitschko has said that he felt embarrassed by the way David Haye acted in the press conference on Monday.
The Hayemaker, Haye, who will take on Klitschko in a unification bout for the heavyweight titles on July 2, 2011 at Hamburg’s Imtech Arena in Germany, recently had a last pre-fight press conference with Klitschko and once again, he talked about executing
Dr. Steelhammer on the fight night.
Klitschko, who will defend his heavyweight titles, feels Haye is using wrong tactics to promote himself ahead of the fight.
He told the media that no matter what one should never wish to destroy somebody’s health, as it is just a sport. He added a lot of people have died in this sport so far and therefore these tactics are not worth using.
While speaking on his inclusion, he said, “No matter what, it is disgraceful and disrespectful for a man to wish to damage your health. This game, this sport, is very intense and unfortunately there have been a lot of cases where people have been handicapped
and people have died during and after fights. It's not something you can joke about to promote yourself.”
Klitschko, who has won 55 of his 58 fights including 49 by the way of a knockout, stated he was not impressed by the way Haye acted in the press conference, as he reckons these tactics also affect the sport.
“It's something you do not say. I felt embarrassed at the way David Haye acted in the press conference. Because it also casts a shadow on the sport,” said Klitschko.
There is not much time left when these pugilists will be one-on-one in the ring in front of an anticipated crowd of over 50,000 people. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and see who wins this clash of titans.
