Haye V Valuev Billed By Broadcasters And Online Boxing Betting Providers As David And Goliath Fight

Hailed as the definitive David versus Goliath spectacle (well, since biblical times and the real version 1.0), the imminent WBA Heavyweight bout between Britain's latest heavyweight boxing hope and the giant Russian he's challenging will surely live up to its enthusiastic billing as the two combatants with much to prove go head-to-head in Germany on Saturday 7^th November 2009. The much trumpeted Londoner, David Haye has recently moved up from cruiserweight (where he won every belt he physically could as he produced dazzlingly entertaining yet ruthlessly efficient performances) to have a pop at the heavyweight standard, which he's harboured a desire for ever since stepping into a boxing ring according to the man himself. The considerable obstruction standing in the way of Haye's raw ambition is the seemingly immovable object that is reigning WBA Heavyweight champion, the 7 feet 2 inch Nikolai Valuev. The phrase 'man mountain' never so appropriately used.

No stranger to plying his heavyweightt boxing trade inGermanyy having fought seven of his last ten bouts there, Valuev goes into his title defence with an unnerving air of confidence about him, not to mention a distinct lack of the sometimes comical and ego-massaging posturing that's usually characteristic of heavyweight set too's. Haye on the other hand hasn't missed an opportunity to wind up his opponent; only most of his attempts have fallen on deaf ears. Trying every trick in the modern day boxer's handbook, he's even implied that Valuev's looks are so challenging that he could have had a walk on part in Lord of the Rings. Which other than having playground overtones, is a risk taking barb given the monstrous ogre he'll be standing shoulder to groin with on Saturday night. As ever, Valuev remains emotionally detached and focusing on his preparations nonplussed with Haye's antics.

X Factor Could Be KO'd By David Haye Versus Nikolai Valuev Boxing Betting Bout

Haye has already come to the conclusion that his German hosts seem to have taken the hump (or at least decided who to pin their colours to) by putting him up in what the Bermondsey-born fighter hinted was 'very, very basic' and 'in the middle of nowhere'. Sounding similar to the underhand tactic deployed by Eastern European footballing outposts when England roll up in town, it prompted Haye to immediately upgrade to somewhere with hot and cold running water. Then there was the Nuremburg promoter's suggestion that the bout should be brought forward to 9.30pm UK time, half an hour before the previously agreed time. Knowing that this would seriously hamper TV audience viewing figures back home (as it would clash with X Factor), Haye's manager/trainer refused.
