The date and venue have been set- November 13th at the Manchester MEN, for what is arguably Britain’s biggest heavyweight fight since Frank Bruno Vs Lennox Lewis back in 1993. David Haye will defend his WBA crown against, in some people’s opinion, a less than deserving Audley Harrison. Despite general belief that the outcome is a foregone conclusion, there are a lot of other factors that make this a fascinating contest. >>Click Here Watch Live Boxing Online Tv
The first area of interest is the personal history between the two fighters. It has been well documented that Haye and Harrison used to be friends before their relationship turned sour.. Harrison firmly believes that it was a one way friendship, with him giving and Haye taking. When both fighters were at the outset of their careers, it was Harrison who had the lucrative BBC television deal. He helped to get Haye on the shows and raise the fighter’s profile. He even used to let Haye sleep over at his house. When Harrison lost the BBC deal and his career took a dip, he looked to Haye, who now had his own TV deal, to return the favour. However, he found the door firmly shut- something he still feels bitter about today. You can clearly see the animosity between the fighters at any media gathering.
The careers of the two fighters have been vastly different. The first difference is obviously that David Haye started his professional career as a cruiserweight, whereas Audley has always campaigned at Heavyweight. The more significant difference between their careers is the amount of success they have had. Apart from his solitary loss to Carl Thompson in 2004, Haye’s career has pretty much always been on the ascendency. His first major title came in 2005 when he defeated Alexander Gurov for the European cruiserweight title. This was followed up in 2007 with a win over Jean-Marc Mormeck which gave him the WBC and WBA world titles. The following year, in another ‘Battle of Britain’, Haye defeated Enzo Maccarinelli to claim the WBO title. When Haye moved up to the Heavyweight division, the success continued- 2009 brought him the WBA title as he out boxed Russian skyscraper Nikolai Valuev.
Harrison, like Haye, turned professional in 2001, but has had a significantly more modest career. Winning Gold at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 gave him a great platform to launch his career. Unfortunately a lot of pressure and expectation was placed upon him from the very beginning. Harrison himself must take some of the blame here, as he was making so many bold, ambitious claims from the offset. Like all boxers, he wanted to learn the ropes against low quality opposition, but with so much hype surrounding him, the public quickly grew impatient. The other real problem was that Audley never really progressed from that level- in terms of opposition or ability. Defeats to Danny Williams, Dominick Guinn, Michael Sprott, and Martin Rogan saw Harrison being written off and his career in freefall. A change in fortune saw him win the Prizefighter tournament in 2009, which set up a shot at the European title, which he duly won by knocking out old adversary Michael Sprott in the last round. It was that victory that put him back on the world map and allowed the fight with David Haye to be made.
