2000 Olympic gold medal winner Audley Harrison is not even considering the possibility of a loss on November 13, when he challenges WBA heavyweight champion David Haye at the MEN Arena in Manchester. Harrison is confident that he has Haye's number in the fight.
"I already know what is going to happen. He can't beat me. There is no plan. I trust in myself to do what I was born to do. I have a God-given talent. My tools are too much for David. I'm going to knock out Haye with compassion. And when he is down on that canvas I am going to reach out to him and pull him to his feet," Harrison told The Telegraph.
Harrison has had more than his fair share of ups and downs. He thinks it's finally time for some good fortune to shine on his career. A heavy pro-Haye crowd is going to pack the arena. By the end of the fight, Harrison says the crowd will be chanting his name.
"I prayed that I would beat David Haye. Do I deserve this good fortune? Damn right, I do. Ten years is how long it has taken me to reach this point. Nothing happens before it is meant to be. I understand that now," Harrison said.
