Klitschko: Haye is an embarrassment

British boxer David Haye has been described as an "embarrassment" to the sport by IBF and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.The pair meet in a title fight in Germany in June and Haye has been taunting his opponent - with tactics including wearing a T-shirt showing him holding the severed heads of Klitschko and his brother Vitali.But the champion insisted Haye, 28, has overstepped the mark - labelling his actions as "not sport".The Brit, meanwhile, defended his approach and criticised the Ukrainian's fighting style, adding: "I don't think I'm demeaning myself or British boxing one bit. I'm just letting him and his family know that I'm coming after them."Haye has recorded 21 knockouts in his career, with 33-year-old Wladimir's total at 46 - leading to the June 20th encounter being labelled as the 'Knockout in Schalke'.The Ukrainian is odds-on favourite at 1/2 in the online boxing betting market, with the challenger priced 85/40 by Boyle Sports.
