Haye more than came up short that night and failed to back up his pre-fight boasts, blaming his lackluster performance on a broken toe, yet Wladimir feels Haye came out the other side a ‘better person’, having learned a valuable lesson in humility, and Dr.Steelhammer today said to iFLtv that he expects this fight to play out much the same way.
“This guy, same like David Haye, needs therapy – and I am like a therapist for them! I promised David Haye before the fight (that) I’m gonna make him a better person, and I’m so happy David became a better person after that fight.
“I believe Tyson Fury is going through the same schedule – he’s 26, he’s young and having not very much experience – he’s very talented at boxing, not to underestimate that – but he’s doing things and saying things that he will regret later on.”
Responding to Fury’s comments at today’s presser, in which the Brit made reference to Wladimir’s “boring, jab and grab style”, Klitschko said;
“It’s funny, I kind of have Déjà vu. Kubrat Pulev said the same thing, that I’m jabbing and grabbing, and am so boring – that he was such an exciting fighter and he could make it more exciting – he was going to be champion. I don’t have to comment where he is now.”
“I’ve heard it a lot. My glass chin is gonna be crashed (sic). Fury says he’s fighting an old man, an old man who’s wrinkled and has grey hair and is not as good as I was before?”
“I think the best lesson is the fight itself.”
“I believe after all the talk – and Tyson is more famous for his talk than his fighting – that fists will speak louder than words.”
My face 2 face today with Fury was entertaining. For only 26 years, Tyson has serious issues. I'll work through them October 24 in the ring
