    Haye is looking mutch more relaxed and happy now then he did when the fight was announced a couple of months ago.I think then he was worried about the backlash he would receive and whether people would take to this fight,now he looks ready to go to work.

    I think after the press conference those who have believed the hype from Audley may rethink their views.

    WTF IS THIS ABOUT!

    I'll quit if I win the world title, claims Audley

    Audley Harrison is threatening to quit the ring if he wins the WBA world heavyweight championship on Saturday night.
    David Haye takes this as further evidence that his fellow Londoner who is challenging for his title is going into meltdown prior to the big fight.

    Tiite challenge: Harrison indicated his dream will be fulfilled if he finally wins the belt

    Harrison, 39, indicated his dream will be fulfilled if he finally wins the belt. At yesterday's face-to-face showdown the former Olympic gold medallist said: 'For me, it will be mission accomplished when I beat David.
    'My goals always were to win at the Olympics and then go on to become the heavyweight champ. I'm not sure there'd be anything left for me to do. When I wake up on Sunday morning with the belt I will sit down and consider the f uture but it's not on my agenda to try to unify the titles.'
    There is a rematch clause in the contract should Harrison win, but he says: 'David will not want to fight me again after what happens to him on Saturday. I don't believe we will fight a second time.'
    Haye bracketed those remarks with what he calls Harrison's 'invention' of a sparring session between them in which the A-Force claims to have shaken the Hayemaker. The champion, 30, said: 'The left hand Audley claims to have wobbled me with must have erased my memory!' Haye is worried that Harrison is 'losing the plot under all the pre-fight pressure'.
    Worried not only for Harrison but for himself, he explained: 'Audley is unravelling which could be bad for the spectacle if he can't perform as he's promising. But also no boxer likes to go into the ring against someone who's going crazy. The madness makes fighters very unpredictable.'
    For the most part, yesterday's confrontation was more civilised than the previous exchanges and there was even a bit of humour. Haye produced the knockout quote. Harrison explained his underachieving decade as a professional by saying: 'All great achievements take a long time.'
    To which Haye responded: 'That's what my builder said about my conservatory.' The heavyweight who is alleged to have a glass jaw then added: 'But it's Audley who's going to get shattered.'

    he obviously has no ambitions to fight any Klit bros if he wins, so whats the point in him even fighting!

    That was painful. Haye's so logical and straightforward about everything - and I loved him owning Harrison over the titles.

    I guess it makes sense that Audley would retire if somehow he managed to win. Deep down he's a sensible(ish) guy and knows that Haye woud likely win a rematch anyway so why go through it again? All depends how the fight goes I suppose though.

    Audley is getting embarrasing now talking **** about something that happened 13 years ago. When he was talking about the titles you could see Adam Smith thinking shut the **** up.

    Haye made him look silly there

    Looking forward to it now, but still think £15 for about 1 minute of action is a bit much.

    Audley hardly has any advantages in this fight. Height, reach and weight are about it. Suluki isn't a better trainer for Harrison than Adam Booth is for David Haye. Audley doesn't have better technique or a ramrod jab. And he doesn't punch more 'correctly'.

    He's 39 years old and hasn't achieved anything significant in professional boxing after a decade in the game. Why would this change in his hardest fight by far? It's like picking someone who was kind of fast 10 years ago and putting them in a 100m sprint against Usain Bolt. There's a slight chance Bolt might trip up I guess but that's about it.

    Audley has a far greater chance of getting seriously hurt in this fight than he does of winning.

    I really can't believe the number of boxing fans that have bought this fight. It's a terrible mismatch and it's fights like this that have stopped boxing progressing in the 21st century. And it's a real shame because last weekend we had a great fight in Lopez v Marquez and the week after this we've got fight of the year in Martinez v Williams II. Yet not even half the audience that will watch Haye - Harrison will have tuned in to these much better matchups.

    People can buy it and back Audley if they want. It's their choice and who am I to judge what people think or want to believe. Hell I might be wrong and Audley Harrison might be the saviour of the heavyweight division after all.

    Audley did end up looking a bit desperate regarding the IBF cruiserweight title. When Haye gave gave his reply, Audley should've threw back the same logic regarding the WBA title being Chagaev's & not Valuev's.
