Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Haye said: "I put on some good healthy, usable muscle, he's just eaten some pies.

"I've watched my food. My diet is tighter now than when I was as a cruiserweight. I feel better than ever, you'll see a destructive performance.

"He doesn't look like an athlete. You can drag anybody from the audience and he'll look like him. He's not a professional athlete. He doesn't look after himself."

Haye was again eager to give his take on how things will pan out in the heavyweight contest.

He added: "[It will be a] spectacular, violent knock-out. He'll never fight again after this.

"I'm ripped, ready. 16 stone isn't a small heavyweight - Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis at one point [weighed 16 stone].

"I've given the illusion I would come in light. I'm a whole size bigger than him. It's a dangerous force."
