Heavyweight contender Tony 'The Tiger' Thompson, who spent the last three weeks sparring WBA world champion David Haye, believes the British champion will have a very easy night when he defends the title against domestic rival Audley Harrison on November 13. Thompson told the South London Press that Haye impressed him during their sparring sessions and made him a believer.

“I couldn't have been more impressed with David in sparring, and he was twice the fighter I first thought he was. I just think this is going to be an easy win for him on November 13. I told David at the beginning that if he can hit me with right hands and beat the hell out of me in practice, he will destroy Audley Harrison. If David can do what he did to me, Audley's got no shot in this fight at all," Thompson.

Thompson doesn't see Harrison as being anywhere near the level of Haye, in terms of skill and career accomplishments.

“Audley is nowhere near on this level. He's leagues below where I'm operating and that's just common boxing knowledge. Anybody that has ever watched a fight on television knows that. Audley might be an Olympic gold medallist, but he's nowhere near me as a pro. I've achieved, beaten good guys and mixed with the best, whereas Audley has achieved next to nothing so far,” Thompson said.
