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.
