Speaking with the Derby Telegraph, WBA heavyweight champion David Haye denied recent reports that he was scheduled to fight countryman Audley Harrison on November 13. Haye is still trying to speak with the Klitschko team for a fight with either WBC champion Vitali Klitschko or WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko.

Other reports contradict Haye's statements to the paper. Vitali appears to be in serious talks for a fight with Nikolai Valuev and Wladimir is negotiating a mandatory fight against Alexander Povetkin. Harrison's promoter Eddie Hearn and Haye's manager Adam Booth have confirmed speaking with each other about a potential all-British showdown in the fall.

"I haven't talked to Audley's team, to be honest. I've read it in numerous newspapers but I don't take any notice of that. I looked on one of the boxing websites the other day and they even had a date for the fight. That made me laugh," Haye said.

"At the moment, we're talking to the Klitschkos, trying to make that deal. Audley's just trying to get some headlines. If, by some miracle, I ended up in the same ring as him, I think everybody with half a brain cell would know what the result would be. I would go out there and mince him."

Haye's plan is to fight both of the Klitschkos, beat them, and then retire by the end of 2011.

"The way I see it, I've got to beat both of them at some stage. They have different strengths and different assets, so I'd have to treat each fight differently but both are fighters I feel I could beat. Even if I was to beat both of them, there would be someone else. There always is," Haye said.

"I've always said I would retire at the end of next year. I started boxing when I was 10 and said then I would retire from boxing when I was 30 and that's still the time restraint I've set myself."
