By Sean McDaniel: According to the latest boxing news, Gareth Davies of the Telegraph.co.uk is reporting that WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) and former 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist Audley Harrison should have their fight finalized within the next two weeks for a bout that will take place on November 13th in Manchester.

What makes this particularly interesting is that the fight will be taking place on the same night as the Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito bout for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title. It would be great if HBO was to show the Haye-Harrison fight as well.

However, this would be a fight that would be a non-per per view bout because few boxing fans would likely be interested outside of the UK in paying to watch Haye beat up on the 38-year-old southpaw Harrison. The UK boxing public will eat up the Harrison-Haye fight like candy, and they’ll be scores of fans that will be willing to pay to watch Haye and Harrison get it on.

Of course, they’ll be a few bitter fans who refuse to pay for this bout because of their anger at Haye for not agreeing to fight the Klitschko brothers. But the fans will get over it sooner or later. Haye will entertain against Harrison and look to put on another one of his stellar performances in taking Harrison out in quick fashion.

Harrison, 6’4 ½” will have the size advantage over the 6’3” Haye, but the hand speed and the power will be on Haye’s side. If he catches Harrison with one of his shots early, the big man will probably be hitting the canvas in short order. Haye needs to impress because he’s been out of the ring since April and has upset fans by not staying active.

Harrison will have a puncher’s chance and you can’t count him out. If he fights with the same kind of fire that he did in the 12th round in his last fight against Michael Sprott, then Haye could find himself on the canvas wondering what happened. When Harrison has his back against the wall, he’s very dangerous and shows his untapped talent.

It’s when Harrison is thinking too much and being timid that he has the biggest problems. If Harrison fought all of his fights with the same kind of intensity that he did against Sprott in the 12th. I have no doubts that Harrison would be an undefeated fighter rather than one with four losses.
