David Haye (22-1, 21 KOs) has stoked up the war of words with the Klitschkos by wearing a hand-made T-shirt which depicted him stood of the bodies of Wlad and his brother Vitali, with each of their heads in his hands.
"I wanted him to see it face to face. " said Haye defiantly.
" I am coming here to shock the world... I am not coming over to pick up a pay cheque like the rest of Wladimir's opponents. On June 20, people will realise that I am the real deal. This is the fight the whole world wants to see. This is one of the biggest fights of all time.
"With all the great heavyweight fights, I am going to take this to a whole new stratosphere. You are going to see something special - you are going to see the beginning of a legend."
"It is time to go to war. I will dispose of the whole Klitschko family. First I will take care of Wladimir and then I will take care of Vitali."
Wladmiri Klitschko (52-3, 46 KOs) was not amused with Haye's shirt, nor his agressive talk.
"I think it is terrible and he will get punished for it" said Wlad.
"I do not agree with the things he has been doing, like coming here with this T-shirt. That simply is not right. It is very cheeky. He is a young man who cannot control his emotions. I will teach him a lesson and show him how to deal with it. I can best do it in the ring." he said sternly.
"I thought I would knock him out in the first round but then I thought better of it. I will make it a long and painful process. I will not knock him out before the 12th round."
"I will enjoy the process, it will be fun."
Then Wladmir turned away from the media and addressed a message to Haye.
"David, you are just a trash talker, stay up until the 12th round until I will knock you out."
Haye, not amused announced that "This will be Wladimir Klitschko's last fight."
"He will retire after I have beaten him to bits. Now it is time to go to war. I have seen Wladimir fight dozens of time and I am not impressed at all. He comes out and all he does is jab. It's jab, jab, jab, grab." he said, poking fun at Wlad's often criticised style of controlling his opponents.
"The guys he has been fighting have been over the hill. They have been so old. They have just fallen down. He has never been tested. I will knock him out and then take out his brother." Haye concluded.
