Boxing: Haye confident ahead of bout

WASHINGTON: Helped by Mohammad Ali’s former trainer, Britain’s heavyweight WBA champion David Haye believes his speed and power will bring him victory in his unification bout with Wladimir Klitschko on July 2. Haye will take on Ukrainian Klitschko, the WBO, IBO and IBF champion, in Hamburg in a long-awaited showdown. “I’ve got very quick feet, quick head movement and my punches are very rapid,” said Haye. “I’ve got the type of speed he will not have had to encounter as a professional.”
