Barrett vows to spank Haye
by Adam Marshall, 03 October 2008
Monte Barrett has threatened to "spank" David Haye on November 15, live on Setanta Sports, and bring a swift dose of reality to his heavyweight ambitions.
Haye is hoping to add some real sparkle to the division and his first test is against proven campaigner Barrett with the 37-year-old determined to upset the Englishman at The O2 Arena.
"David is 10 years my junior," he explained on Setanta Sports News. "My girlfriend is 10 years my junior. The difference between her and David is she likes it when I spank her ass!
"I'm happy David stepped up as there was so many different guys in the business for him to fight but he made the decision to fight me," he added.
"I'm the most dangerous of all the guys, the most focused and hungriest."
'Two Gunz', who is ranked 6th in the world by the World Boxing Organisation, reckons it will be an explosive encounter for the London fight fans.
"It's an exciting fight and I'm looking forward to it because sparks are going to fly on November 15," Barrett vowed.
"This is a fight boxing needs. I'm a big fan of David Haye, his biggest fan and his worst enemy.
"The guy's a good fighter and I just know it's going to be an extravaganza. I'm looking for an exciting fight as it's two warriors so that's what you're going to get.
"I'm happy to be here in London. My last visit to London wasn't a great visit at all but I've got a lot of making up to do.
"I love London, I don't like the cold, but I love London."
Barrett was beaten by Wladimir Klitschko on his last trip to the English capital.
