Klitschko wants to punish Haye

Vladimir Klitschko plans to punish David Haye after the British fighter posed with a wax mock-up of the heavyweight world champion's severed head for a magazine photo-shoot ahead of their June clash in Germany.

The Ukrainian will put his IBF, WBO and IBO belts on the line at the home of German football club Schalke on June 20 and was clearly irritated by Haye's provocative behaviour as the pair faced each other at a news conference in London on Monday.

Haye, who became undisputed world cruiserweight champion last year by knocking out Enzo Maccarinelli, arrived wearing a T-shirt depicting himself holding the heads of Klitschko and his brother Vitali, the WBC heavyweight champion, and began firing insults at the 33-year-old.

"He provoked me by cutting my head off and posturing in the magazine," Klitschko said.

"Pretty provoking. You know what? I chose David Haye not David Haye chose me.

"I have had three title defences and I took this boy. I see right now, I see David Haye with a cut head of my brother. So, I am asking what is going to be next? Are you going to cut my dad's head or my mother's head?

"This is over the edge. You listen to what I say, this guy is going to be punished, it is going to be pizza face for 12 rounds, and in the 12th round I am going to knock him out."
