Audley Harrison earlier told Sky Sports News that American southpaw Tony 'The Tiger' Thompson had floored David Haye during sparring sessions for Haye's WBA heavyweight title defence against Audley on November 13th. Thompson was brought over to replicate Audley's style but 'A-Force' claims that the American brought more to the table than Haye could handle, telling Sky that he has heard rumours of Haye struggling with the 6' 5'' boxer.
"They brought Thompson with a lot of publicity," claimed Harrison when speaking live on Sky, "but I hear that he knocked David down in sparring." Harrison believes that Thompson, 39, is inferior to him and sees the alleged knock down as a portent of what will transpire come fight night.
Harrison also shrugged off claims that Haye is toning down the war of words and that the 'Hayemaker' may have regretted some of his earlier outbursts. "I'm sounding like a man on a mission and David has come across as a spoiled brat," blasted Harrison.
