See you in hospital: Haye to Klitschko

Britain's world heavyweight champion David Haye has said he will only shake the hand of Wladimir Klitschko when he visits him in hospital after their Saturday's unification bout.

Klitschko, the IBF and WBO title-holder, takes on Britain's Haye, the WBA champion, at Hamburg's Imtech Arena this weekend.

There is no love lost between the pair and Haye has admitted he wants to antagonise Klitschko to promote the fight and lure the Ukrainian into an all-out attack.

Haye has not wasted any opportunities to antagonise his rival and refused to shake hands with his fellow champion at Monday's pre-fight press conference. "I will shake hands with you when I visit you in hospital on Sunday," said Haye, who has dubbed Klitschko "Bitchko" and "a fraud" in the past.

"This is going to be the most brutal execution of a boxer that you've seen for many, many years."
