There's confident sportsmen and then there's boxers.

It was announced last week that David Haye would finally get his chance to face Wladimir Klitschko this summer after the Ukranian heavyweight agreed to the bout on 25 June or 2 July.

Haye had previously stated that he wanted to fight both Wladimir and Vitali before his impending retirement – intended for his 31st birthday in October – but it looked unlikely with Wladimir still set to face Britain’s Dereck Chisora.

However, a persisting abdominal injury caused a second cancellation paving the way for Haye, something that will have angered the unbeaten Brit further.

There is no doubt Haye has the ability to beat both Klitschko brothers but cockiness could be his downfall against, arguably, the best heavyweight boxers in the world.

He has already announced that he aims to retire as undisputed champion of the world and claims that “Wladimir Klitschko is getting violently knocked out.” Now there’s confidence and then there’s utter madness.

I still think Haye has an excellent chance of beating both Klitschko’s, I merely suggest that it may not be the fairytale ending Haye, and the nation, are hoping for.

Haye vs Wladimir will be the fight of the year
