Promoter Barry Hearn tells Sky Sports News that negotiations are moving forward to make an all British showdown between his fighter Audley Harrison and WBC heavyweight champion David Haye. Hearn's son Eddie is involved in the talks, that Hearn says are going well. The fight doersn't mean much in the United States. For British fans the fight is huge.

"I'm not part of these negotiations; my son Eddie is fronting up the discussions," Hearn said. "We are in talks, I understand the talks are going reasonably well. In the heavyweight division, there is nothing else out there as far as British fight fans are concerned, Harrison-Haye is enormous. The fantastic thing about David Haye is that he's burst on the scene and done a fantastic job against [Nikolay] Valuev, boxed the ears off [John] Ruiz and put him into retirement. He's hot.

Haye is a huge draw in England, but Hearn says Harrison is a bigger draw because of his up and down career. The opportunity to fight Haye would certainly be the last major title shot for Harrison.

"Audley Harrison, in my opinion, is a bigger draw. People don't know what to expect from Audley Harrison, he's been talking a great fight for years, never delivered it. He's at that last stage saloon - every fight fan in England wants to see this fight. The fight's going to be amazing. I hope Eddie and Adam Booth get this fight together. Watch this space."
