If I could just provide a bit of perspective here for the Non-Brit members here...
Basically, Audley Harrison is still more of a recognisable name in Britain than David Haye.
Why? I'm not sure... But it's true.
Maybe it's a combination of being an Olympic Gold Meadlist (And thus initially getting a whole heap of media attention both as an amateur and as a Pro (A luxury that was always fading and then finally lost once he lost to Danny Williams).
And also maybe because he's just been around for like a decade now?
But either way, Audley is still () that Boxer we (Brits) all know about. So for David Haye, this is about Domestic exposure, which for example, he would undoubtadly gain more of if he were to beat a 50 year old Frank Bruno than he would beating Wladimir Klitschko (again...
)
And the thing is, for me as a Brit, this fight is exciting.
Am I embarrassed by that? As a so called hardcore boxing fan, you fucking bet I am but the truth is as far as domestic tear ups go (For which we Brits fuckin LOVE!) this is a bit of a biggie... We ain't had anything like this since Benn Eubank.
Seriously
Okay so it's not cool relative to the rest of the world but this fight (albeit for a 'World Belt') ain't for the world.
It's for Britains eyes only
Seriously, I think as the time draws near, this'll be a fight that will be getting ALOT of attention over here.
