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.
im english, and im looking forward to it, ill be staying up for all the boxing, its a nice way to spend a night

I actually started to convince myself that harrison has a chance, but he doesnt really, hes far too shit
