"I can see a Haye win by knockout. Klitschko is a class world champion, but he's had his time and now it's Haye's time to shine. He's younger and fresher and carries dynamite in his fists. The early rounds might by difficult until Haye finds his range and then he'll land one of his big shots."

"I reckon Haye will get to him between rounds six to eight and then it's all over for Klitschko."

"Normally in heavyweight boxing a good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un, but in this case I think Haye, who is smaller, is going to knock him out,"

Mitchell added, "People will be surprised by how easily I beat Murray. They think it's going to be close, but I won't give Murray a chance in this fight, he's going to get done early."
