As you may know David Haye will fight his fellow Britain, Audley Harrison, for the WBA heavyweight title on Saturday. Sky Sports have pulled out all the stops in trying to hype a fight that nobody wants to see. It has been claimed that Haye was knocked down in sparring, that Harrison is more hungry than ever before, that Haye is underestimating Harrison. Everyone has been asked for their opinion; Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko and then Harrison was thrown onto the pitch to shadow box at half time at the Spurs- Bolton game which was live on Sky Sports. Of couse everyone that is asked says that Harrison has the ability to beat David Haye. Rubbish!
He found a knockout punch in the 12th round against a shot Michael Sprott after losing every round. He won the Prizefighter competition against no one of note. He lost to Martin Rogan who was fighting in only his 11th bout. He was knocked out by Sprott in 2007. Hardly a record to be feared.
David Haye should be ashamed of himself for taking this fight. All of his macho trash talk is pointless. Everyone in the boxing world knows that he has dodged the Klitschko brothers. The American press have barely acknowledged that this fight is happening. If Haye were to lose he should retire in shame. If Haye wins he needs to keep his mouth shut and prove himself against real heavyweight opponents or his legacy which he keeps rambling on about will be forever tarnished. The fact that this is a box office fight is a disgrace as well.
