David Haye claims even German fans want him to beat "imposter" Wladimir Klitschko when they clash on July 2 in the Ukrainian's adopted homeland.

The duo's world heavyweight title unification fight this summer is being held in Hamburg, where the Ukraine-born boxer has a house and has been based for much of his career.

Haye said: "Even people in Germany are on my side.

"Wladimir is not German, he is Ukrainian. He is an imposter in their country and his German is worse than his English, apparently - and you know what his English is like!

"He tries to get his point across and he's not funny or entertaining. I've even met Ukrainians who think he's boring, so it's not a language issue.

"His point doesn't get lost in translation, he's just a boring human being inside and outside the ring and people are supporting me."
