adminBut Haye said: “Dereck’s getting knocked out quick. The harder he comes, the quicker he gets KOd.”
Neither boxer currently holds a British boxing licence because of the brawl, and the fight has been sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation.
Chisora predicted this week that he would knock Haye out in round seven, but the former world heavyweight champion believes he is in his best ever shape.
Haye’s trainer Adam Booth believes his fighter’s genuine dislike for Chisora has helped his training schedule.
“This is personal,” Booth said. “He hates Dereck Chisora. I’ve used his hatred of Dereck as fuel for training to make him do more. He wants it more.”
Meanwhile, Amir Khan says his light-welterweight boxing title fight against Danny Garcia in Las Vegas on Saturday easily eclipses Haye’s heavyweight clash with Chisora in London on the same night.
The Haye-Chisora bout has attracted a lot of interest following their much-publicised brawl in Munich in February. But Khan insists his match-up with WBC champion Garcia is more significant.
“Boxing fans know my fight is bigger. There’s a world title on the line,” he told BBC Radio 5 live.
Khan lost his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles to American Lamont Peterson in December.
A rematch was subsequently cancelled in May after Peterson failed a drugs test and an alternative world title fight with Garcia was scheduled soon after.
“I’m in the capital of boxing in Las Vegas. It makes my fight a lot bigger,” he said.
Former WBA world heavyweight champion Haye has come out of retirement to fight Zimbabwe-born Chisora at Upton Park in a meeting arranged after the pair brawled in a media conference following Chisora’s loss to WBC champion Vitali Kitchsko. — AFP.
