He claims that K2, the company owned by the Klitschkos, refused to close the deal unless he agreed to the three fight deal.
"I've got to fight three Klitschkos," Haye told Setanta Sports. "Maybe they've got an uncle who does a bit of boxing and their Dad did a bit back in the day! So three Klitschkos in whatever order they choose. You should've seen what they tried to make me agree to before. That was a massive compromise as it was a joke what they were trying to make me agree.
"If you think that's ridiculous, you would crack up at what they wanted me to sign before. It clearly showed me the mentality of the Klitschkos and how much wusses they are. They're not real champions - they try to manufacture things and are not warriors. They don't believe they are the best out there. If they thought they'd beat me then why make me sign these stupid contracts? That was a deal breaker. If I didn't sign it, the fight wouldn't be happening. You've got to bend sometimes and I did, right at the end of the day.
The deal has made Haye an angry man. He promises to punish both brothers.
"One I knock Wladimir out, he won't want to go near me in a million years and Vitali, once I knock him out, and it's going to take a lot to knock him out, that's it, he's finished. So I don't think I'll have a third fight unless they wheel out one of the uncles. It's a joke. It was like a hidden camera show. I've never heard of it in boxing history but if it's the only way these chumps will get in a ring with me, it's what I've got to do," Haye said.
Yikes.
"I know that Lennox can help me prepare for and beat this big lump.I've spoken to him before and he has great ideas and advice. I'm the underdog and it's a hard fight so I want every possible advantage," Haye said. "Lennox knows how to smash the big heavyweights to bits and he can give me the little bit extra that I will need on the night."
Haye may possibly hook up with Lewis in America. He says there is a chance that his training camp will head to Miami, Florida for a few weeks. During the stay in Miami, he would do some work with Lewis.
"There is a chance I will do some work in Miami - I like it there because it's hot and the gyms are dangerous. I know what I need and it's possible that if I go to Miami I will be able to meet up with Lennox. I will take whatever he tells me into the ring with me on the night, but the most important thing that I will be taking will be my own judges - my left fist and my right fist."
