Former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has told David Haye that he must use his speed "and dance" if he is to frustration Nikolai Valuev for the World Boxing Association belt in Nuremberg on Nov 14.
The British heavyweight challenger Haye, who has moved up to heavyweight after holding three of the cruiserweight world title belts, came face-to-chest at a news conference with the 7ft giant Russian Valuev in Germany this week, and now knows the size of the task ahead of him. Haye insisted he found the sheer size of Valuev “freakish, cartoon-like”.
Haye insisted at a news conference eleven days ago that he will be the first fighter to knock Valuev out. Lewis disagrees.

“If he uses his speed he can dance around Valuev. I really thought Holyfield beat Valuev and he's going to have trouble catching up to David. But if Valuev puts his weight on him, it's a lot to have to push off. David will be trying to hit these friends and knock them out, but these friends don't move easily."
Haye will be watching intently tonight for chinks in the armour of Vitali Klitschko, who supports the World Boxing Council title in Los Angeles against Chris Arreola, who is unbeaten in 27 contests.
The 6ft 8ins tall Ukrainian, who weighed ion at 250lbs Arreola was 251lbs – should retain his title, though Arreola effort to become the first Mexican-American heavyweight world title holder.
Klitschko has fought only twice since being stopped on a cut by Lewis, at the Staples Center, in 2003. Klitschko 37-2, with 36 KOs, returned to the ring after knee surgery 12 months ago, stopping both Samuel Peter and Juan Carlos Gomez.
Both adversary looked lacklustre, and without aspiration. Haye has plans for Klitschko next year, but with that WBA belt as a bargaining tool on the table.
