London, Jan.14 (ANI): Ukrainian pugilist Wladimir Klitschko has branded David Haye a 'liar' and a 'loser' and questioned his claims that he will retire this year.
WBA champion Haye last week said he was 'done' with Klitschko and his brother Vitali, after talks over a heavyweight unification bout broke down when Wladimir agreed to fight Dereck Chisora on April 30.
Thirty-year-old Haye has vowed to retire when he turns 31 in October, and had hoped to fight Wladimir on July 2.litschko has hit out at David Haye for their failure to stage their proposed superfight
According to the Sun, he insists Haye can side-step his mandatory challenger, Ruslan Chagaev, and then face him in July.
"I don't take David Haye as a super-special fight. I don't need a half a year to prepare for this fight. I'm always in shape anyway," said Klitschko.
He added: "Me fighting Chisora first is good promotion for the fight with David Haye because the guy is also British and very loud. It's perfect to help promote the big fight."
Haye claimed last week that if Klitschko did not fight him before his retirement date, the Ukrainian would be forever linked with failing to fight him.
Klitschko accused Haye of playing to the media gallery.
"He is playing the media. He will not retire because he's a liar, liar, liar. From the beginning to the end, he's a loser liar. That's the truth about this man," he said.
"This guy will eventually fight me. He will eventually fight me because everything coming out of his mouth is a lie. But if he does retire, he'll be a loser with no legacy in the heavyweight division at all," he added. (ANI)
