David Haye blamed a toe injury suffered in training for the points decision defeat by Wladimir Klitschko in their heavyweight unification clash in Hamburg on Saturday night.

Taking off his boots in the post-fight interview to reveal a broken toe, Haye claimed the injury scuppered his tactics and prevented him from getting any leverage to land with his trademark Hayemaker.

Wladimir Klitschko dominated his world heavyweight title unification match against Britain's David Haye to clinch a unanimous points decision in their bout Saturday night in Hamburg, Germany.

The giant Ukrainian retained his IBF and WBO versions of the title and claimed Haye's WBA crown after a polished display over 12 rounds in the Imtech Arena of Bundesliga side SV Hamburg.

Hayemaker trainer Adam Booth claims the scales at Friday’s weigh-in were wrong stating David Haye is 5lbs lighter than yesterday’s reading at 14st 12lbs.

WBA heavyweight champion David Haye clocked in at 15st 3lbs at the electric weigh-in on Friday afternoon in the Karadst shopping centre in Hamburg, but Booth has revealed the reading was incorrect.
