DAVID HAYE says he will prove he is more than a “mouthy little Englishman” when he locks horns with Nikolay Valuev for the WBA world heavyweight crown.
The Londoner has taunted the 7ft 2in Russian throughout the build-up to the Nuremberg showdown on Saturday, but plans to back up his words with a champion performance in the ring.
Valuev’s camp vowed to “shut his dirty mouth up” but Haye responded: “He’s never fought anyone as fast or who punches as hard as me, or as accurate. I know he feels I’m a little mouthy man from England, but he’s in for a rude awakening when that bell goes.”
