WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has continued with his verbal digs at 2000 Olympic gold medal winner Audley Harrison. Their fight takes place on November 13 in Manchester. Haye believes he backed up all of his promises to the British public by winning the unified crown at cruiserweight and then capturing the world title at heavyweight. Haye says Harrison has made big career promises for the last ten years but failed to achieve any of them.
They were once close friends but all of that is in the past. Both of them are pointing fingers on who started the rivalry. Haye claims the rivalry began to brew because Harrison is jealous of his success.
"I achieved my goals that I said to the British public, that I said I was going to do when I became a professional. Audley Harrison, after he won the Olympics, said he was going to be this world champion, and he hasn't done that yet. For the last ten years, he's made these big bold claims and he hasn't achieved them. I think the animosity comes from my success and his failure," Haye said to the BBC.
