World heavyweight boxing champion Vladimir Klitschko has claimed Britain's WBA title David Haye is "afraid" of fighting him, and added that he is disappointed by the Brit.
"The guy talks a lot but there is no action - he doesn't follow through with everything that he promises," said Klitschko, who defends his title against Nigerian Samuel Peter in Germany on September 11.
"I'm very disappointed about David Haye. I've actually had enough of him.
"The actual question is whether he wants to fight us.
"He speaks a lot, saying 'yes, I want it'.
"But then the deal wasn't good enough, his shoes were too small, or his back was injured, or whatever else he is going to create.
"Unfortunately there is no action. I'm seriously disappointed by David Haye.
"It's not only his financial interests; there are boxing fans out there and he owes this fight to them especially.
"I believe he is afraid. If he wasn't afraid he would take the fight."
