David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko clash in heavyweight showdown this Saturday

David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko has taken 3 years to finally get here and it starts tomorrow night. The heavyweight showdown pits the British fighter Haye against the 6ft 6in Germany-based Ukrainian, Wladimir Klitschko.

The weigh-in took place today and 30 year old Haye came in 212lb 12oz (15st 2lb 12oz) over two stone less than Klitschko at 242lb 8oz (17st 4lb 8oz). The fight which will take place at Hamburg sees the British challenger as underdog to the giant Ukrainian who has a record of 55 wins, 49 knockouts and three knockout defeats.

It looks set up to be a great fight with heavy favourite being Klitschko with its height and weight advantage but with Haye’s speed and agility it could well be the biggest upset in boxing for a decade.
