Big fight preview: Haye v Barrett

Haye and Barrett were speaking on Friday outside The O2 arena before their heavyweight title fight.

The 37-year-old American said he was unhappy with his accommodation and had not been given enough food.

He said: "They have given me £30 a day to eat with and that's not enough for a heavyweight boxer.

"And then they put me in a hotel that's a short stay hotel. In America a short stay is where men take their mistress to have sex.

"I'm pretty sure David Haye wouldn't stay in the hotel I'm staying in."

He also claimed a contract for the fight had not been signed over a disagreement on the rematch clause.

Haye replied: "It's a whole hotpot of excuses. You sound like you're trying to get out of this fight."

The 28-year-old south Londoner added: "I'll win this in three rounds. I was going to say six, but after today I'm going for three."

The duo will clash in the ring on Saturday night, with the fight scheduled to begin at 11.15pm.
