Haye fight hotting up – punters predict it’s over early

DAVID HAYE is being backed off the boards to win in Hamburg, according to Ladbrokes.

All the early money was for Klitschko forcing his price into 4/7 but he now eases to a joint-best 8/13.

David Haye is now a 11/8 shot and should trade continue it could be the challenger who goes off the favourite on Saturday night.

The money also says that the fight will be explosive and could be over quickly with Haye slashed from 40/1 to 28/1 to win inside 60 seconds. It’s just 1/6 (from 1/4) either fighter hits the canvas at any time and 4/6 Haye suffers a knockdown.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: “Punters are backing Haye at all rates now. We’re taking Klitschko on but most would prefer to be with Haye to win and win fast.”
