Here are some recent actual quotes from Adam Booth regarding the next opponent for November.

There have been talks with fellow Londoner Harrison, 38, who revived his career by winning the European title with a last-gasp KO over Reading’s Michael Sprott in April.


But Haye’s trainer-manager Adam Booth said: “David is still saying, ‘Why the hell should I be fighting Audley when he’s not ranked in the top ten?’


“I’m not saying Audley is not a possibility. Nothing has been done yet and we are not moving ahead.


“I’ve spoken to Eddie Hearn a couple of times and I’ve also had offers from Bernard Hopkins and Shannon Briggs.


"Tomasz Adamek, with all the tickets he would sell to Poles living in Britain, is another possibility.


“But nothing is going to be decided for four or five weeks.


“I’ve not heard from the *Klitschkos in weeks.


“There is talk Vitali will fight Shannon Briggs next, we will see.”
