David Haye Disappointed He Couldn't Back Up Talk

David Haye has revealed that he is disappointed that he couldn't produce a performance that lived up to the talk against Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday night.

While Haye did go all twelve rounds with Klitschko he never really looked in the bout as he struggled with deal with the jab of the Ukrainian fighter.

As the fight progressed only a knockout would have guaranteed a win for Haye - but he was the fighter making all the moves in the final round.

But Klitschko took the match on points as all three judges scored in his favour as he unified the heavyweight title.

Speaking to Sky Sports he said: "It is my ego and pride that is hurting more than anything else.

"You can live with the physical pain but it is the emotional pain that cuts deepest. You know what I'm like before the fight, I give it all the big mouth.

"I talk the talk and normally I walk the walk. On Saturday night I didn't walk the walk and I'm gutted about that.

"I feel like I've let a lot of people down. I feel like I've let myself, family, everybody down."

"I feel like I've let a lot of people down. I feel like I've let myself, family, everybody down."

It was revealed after the fight that Haye was suffering from a broken toe, which may have been the cause of some balance problems, but the Brit fighter insists that was no the major factor in the defeat.

"It's not an excuse for the result of the fight," he said. "The result happened because he landed more punches than I did, the judges saw it that way and he won the fight on points.

"I do believe I wasn't at my best and, had I not injured myself, I may have been able to spring a little faster.
