Unbeaten Cruiserweight Lasse Johansen made it clear today that he is not coming to England for a holiday or a quick pay day against David Haye.
Â
The thirty-year old Dane has followed Haye's career closely since they were in the amateur ranks together and he knows he can beat Haye and takehe can go back to Denmark with the European title.
Â
"I am definitely not going to be the walkover that David Haye and his team expects, this is a once in a life time opportunity for me and people who get these chances for Haye to beat me i will have to be a carried out on my shield. I will do to David Haye what my countries
Â
"I have watched Haye's career in detail since in his amateur days and he's picked and chosen his oppent, I am coming to England to gain revenge of an amateur defeat and also to take back the European belt to my beloved Denmark
Â
"Haye likes to talk, he's very boastful for someone who really hasn't really done much in his career, yes he's won the European title but everyone knows that Gurov goes down when he's hit on the chin. Remember Terry Dunstan where did he go after that fight."
