Haye reveals who hits harder: Klitschko or Wilder

Former world champion in two weight classes David Haye compared the force of impact Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko.

The Briton was in the ring with both heavyweights: in 2011 he lost the WBA title in a fight with Klitschko, and two years later he had several sparring sessions with Wilder.

“I really think Deontay Wilder has the heaviest punch in heavyweight history, although I know that may sound like an exaggeration,” Boxing Social quoted Hay as saying. - Once I missed a splash from Wilder in sparring. And Wladimir Klitschko also beat me - exactly in the jaw, with a 10-ounce glove.

“And you know, I felt much more strongly the hit from Wilder, on the top of the head, although he was wearing 18-ounce gloves, and I was wearing a protective helmet. And this despite the fact that the blow itself fell on a tangent! After that, I remember thinking, “Damn, this guy is definitely going to get something.” In that sparring, Wilder was inept and acted laxly ... but his power was amazing, ”concluded the Briton.
