What an absolute disgrace of a man. I knew he was delusional beforehand but I always thought it was just to get himself motivated and to help to sell the fights he was in. But now he is just officially a mental case if he thinks he can come back from the Haye fight.
If I was him i'd be embarrassed to show my face in public again.

Audley Harrison has decided to fight on after that embarrassing defeat by David Haye.
The 2000 Olympic champion landed just a solitary blow en route to being stopped in round three of his WBA world heavyweight title challenge in Manchester on November 13.
After that Harrison admitted he was uncertain about whether to fight on, but he's now decided not to hang up his gloves just yet.
He said: "After spending some time away reflecting on the fight and outcome, I have made the decision to continue my journey in boxing and carry on my career as a professional.
"The David Haye experience had many highs away from the ring and I'm happy I had a great training camp and worked with two of my brothers again in camp. I surrounded myself with a world class team and pushed myself to the limit in training and left my changing room knowing I had given my all to get to this point."
Harrison came in for massive criticism after his performance against Haye, and says he's not surprised by it.
"The outcry from the fight is expected as I didn't get the result I wanted and the critics have once again tried to bury me under the rubble and hope I disappear. All I can say is I had a game plan and went into the ring to win. The way the fight ended was frustrating to me as I didn't get going and was just settling into my rhythm.
"Both styles of feinting and moving was off-setting the both of us in the first two rounds and I was just zoning in on his rhythm when he got through.
"I'll never be crash - bang - wallop and I'm glad about that; my style is unique but can run into problems like all styles can and I got caught by a good set of punches to go down. I give David credit as I never expected him to hurt me as he did, but anyone could see it was a premature stoppage and I should have been allowed to carry on and ride out the rough patch, even if that meant I would have got KO'd."
Harrison believes now that the Haye fight may have been stopped too soon, arguing: "I think the Vitali Klitschko beating of Shannon Briggs a few weeks earlier and the public outcry made the referee jump in early and I was denied the opportunity to show my grit, determination and desire to be in there and compete and try to get back on level terms.
"Let the haters and negative comments continue - I don't really care. I know me and I can sleep at night as I'm happy with who I am today. Yes it hurts not to achieve your goals, but we roll up our sleeves and we try again; such is the beauty of life."
That last paragraph shows that he is quite clearly insane and should not be allowed outside.
I'll fight him.
If I was him i'd be embarrassed to show my face in public again.
