Wladimir Klitschko made it personal with David Haye at the final press conference for Saturday's heavyweight unification fight in Hamburg. Klitschko, unimpressed with Haye's attitude throughout the build-up, said he would take it upon himself to teach the cocky Briton a lesson both in and out of the ring. He said he would teach him a lesson by making him his 50th knockout victim.

"I see you are in great shape, you're very confident and you're ready for July 2nd - I'm so happy," he said. "I'm going to get challenged in the ring, and that's exactly what I'm looking for when I box.

"I'm giving you respect as a fighter, but I believe David Haye is not such a bad guy. He acts cocky, he carries himself very confident, very cool, and I believe since you beat Mormeck you got this attitude that is not so good for your life.

"Not only in the ring but outside of the ring. You are carrying it outside the ring as well. I think it's going to be a good lesson for you in the ring on July 2nd. I know you're in good shape, I know you're prepared and I do respect you. As a fighter, not as a person.

"My name is Dr Klitschko - I am a therapist for you on July 2nd. I am going to give you treatment, it's going to be reality rehab.

"I will knock you out into reality, which will be good for your life. You're going to become a better person, a better man with better behaviours, and you're going to be on time - to get up at the count of nine.

"You disgraced the 49 guys I have knocked out, saying they were b-u-m-s. You are going to be number 50, just out of respect to the other guys."
