The man who was KO'd by Michael Sprott, decisioned by Martin Rogan, and who is scheduled to turn 39 in October is getting a title shot......Haye might as well fight Holyfield.
Of course Harrisson agrees why wouldnt he its an udeserved title shot in the UK vs a sold out audience vs the weakest belt holder for his biggest pay check a much safer fight then the klitschkos and he knwos at his age this may be his only shot not so surprising Of course Haye walks all over him cause Mike Sprott could
And 5,000 miles away you know this for a fact? It's nonsense, imo it definitely won't be huge here, it'll raise eyebrows if anything.
A lot of people are speculating that the British public will be very interested in a Haye vs Harrison match.. I don't live in the UK, but frankly the responses that a lot of British fight fans are giving, don't lead me to believe such.. In fact, the majority of the ones that I chat with on here are showing a great deal of disdain for Haye for choosing Harrison as his next opponent, and I don't blame them.. Plain and simple, this is not a boxing fan's fight. Its clearly another angle to keep Haye winning, while fishing for a large low-risk payday.. To clearify my position, I do think Haye is a very good fighter and may be one of the best heavy's out there, but at this point, I can't refer to him as being a champion, not even the lightest sense of the term...
Mine was lost after Haye didn't personally respond to Wlad's challenge. That was the ultimate breaking point. Haye can easily re-gain it once he gets in the ring with either Vitali or Wlad or even Adamek instead of a nobody like Harrison (or whoever else Booth will pick for him).
im from uk and this fight is a joke if it happens audley barly won his last fight and was way behind on point when he ko'd the other guy he has one amazing punch every 5 years and he just used it
The Daily Mail has a huge amount of shite in it so I'll wait for something more concrete. It would be a bad move for Haye and I'm not sure he would go for it after Booth said it would look bad.
Eddie Hearn from Matchroom Promotions has just been on Steve Bunce's radio show and said that there is no truth in the article.
Harrison might have agreed to it. ****, I've got a signed contract in my pocket that I'll face any world champ from welterweight to heavyweight for $2m (after tax). They can keep the PPV money. Despite the fact I'm 38 and never fought in my life. Just because I've agreed and got a signed deal, doesn't mean anyone else will put their name to it.
