2000 Olympic gold medal winner Audley Harrison is getting even more confident as the fight with WBA heavyweight champion David Haye approaches for this Saturday night at the MEN Arena in Manchester. The two former friends have traded words for the last few weeks. Audley thinks the war of words has mentally broken Haye down. He says the mental focus of Haye is fading and an early knockout win is not out of the question.
"I could knock him out in a couple of rounds, the way it's going. I'm expecting the fight of my life, a 12-round hard fight, but I look into his eyes and I know David Haye better than he knows himself," Audley said to sport.co.uk. "Just looking into David Haye's eyes, he's starting to wilt. So don't be surprised if I knock David Haye out in a couple of rounds, the way it's going."
Audley says Haye is very scared of losing the fight. The huge underdog, Audley has nothing to lose and everything to gain in the contest.
"His will-power might keep him in there, but I'm telling you now, I've looked at David Haye and his will-power is already starting to fade - and me and him haven't even started throwing punches yet," Audley said.
"David Haye is scared to lose, so he's trained so hard. You can see this is my destiny. I'm cool, calm and collected. David's trying to play it like he's cool, calm and collected, but they're in disarray. My will-power will not be broken. My spirit, my destiny, my heart, everything, I'm unbreakable. I cannot be broken in this fight by David Haye."
