By William Mackay: World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) figures that he’s going to be knocking out British challenger 38-year-old Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) on November 13th in their title fight at the M.E.N. Arena, Manchester, Lancashire. In a press release sent out today, Haye, 29, said “I have no doubt Audley will be seeing three of me once I land my right hand on his jaw. This is going to be a three dimensional beating of a one-dimensional challenger.”

Haye isn’t too enamored with Harrison’s credentials that he’s bringing into the fight. However, it was Haye and his trainer/manager Adam Booth that chose Harrison over all of the other fighters in the heavyweight division to fight, so he really should be blaming himself if he’s not pleased with Harrison’s skills. Haye could have fought the Klitschko brothers or one of the dangerous heavyweight contenders like Odlanier Solis, Alexander Povetkin, or Denis Boytsov.

Harrison brings him more money than those fighters, however, because Harrison has a following in the UK, because of his Olympic Gold Medal he captured in the 2000 Olympics. Harrison has been fighting as a pro longer than Harrison and was at one time a fairly popular fighter at the very start of his pro career in 2001. Harrison’s popularity has dwindled away due to his lack of interesting competition, his pedestrian safety first fighting style and his losses to Danny Williams, Dominick Guinn, Michael Sprott and Martin Rogan.

Haye and Harrison’s fight will be shown in 3-D on November 13th. Haye says “For a man as mentally delicate as Audley, the added pressure of 3D could tip him over the edge. the last thing a paranoid schizophrenic wants is things jumping out at him.” Harrison sometimes has a problem with fighting too timidly. However, when he lets his hands go like he did in winning the Prizefighter tournament and the way he did in his 12th round knockoutn win over Sprott in April, he’s a lethal puncher and very dangerous.

Harrison already has a substantial height and reach advantage over Haye. The only thing that Harrison need to add to that is aggression. He has to fight the way that he’s been fighting recently if he wants to beat Haye. He can’t let Haye pick his spots and control the fight with his power punches the way that he likes to do. Haye will be using movement, circling the ring and darting in occasionally with big right hands or left hooks. If he thinks he’s got Harrison hurt, he’ll jump on him and try to take him out with a flurry of punches the way he did with Enzo Maccarinelli.
