DAVID HAYE swore blind recently he would not fight Audley Harrison.
But it looks like he has changed his mind.
Word is a press conference has been arranged for early September, when it is expected the fight will be confirmed for November 13 in Manchester.
It's a showdown not many in the boxing business will like.
But it will sell well to the wider public, as they know both fighters well.
Barry Hearn's son Eddie, who promotes Harrison, claims it is a £10million fight.
That seems optimistic as, other than the gate, the only source of income will be UK PPV sales.
It will have to shift around 700,000 to generate £10m.
HBO said they would not touch an Audley fight. The truth is, on his past performances, he does not really deserve a shot at Haye's WBA heavyweight title.
He's got into this position courtesy of a lucky KO punch against Michael Sprott when he won the European title.
That should serve as a warning to Dave. On paper, he's rightly a massive favourite but he's also vulnerable.
If he gets clipped, it could be all over. For all his faults Harrison can punch.
For me, Harrison is not the best option for Dave right now.
Ex-cruiserweight king Tomasz Adamek scored a points win over former world title challenger Michael Grant at the weekend.
Adamek was been born in Poland, but he is now resident in New Jersey, and is a name in the States.
And if Haye fought him, HBO would definitely get involved.
It's the final round of the Super Six, but the tournament is coming apart at the seams.
Jermain Taylor has already exited the super-middleweight series after two bad defeats, and now Mikkel Kessler has pulled out because of an eye problem.
Kessler was in pole position to make it to the knockout stages after beating Carl Froch.
The round robin nature of the Super Six was always its weakness.
The winner might end up being the last man standing.
German promoters Sauerland are keen on doing a cruiserweight version of the Super Six.
They have approached me about Enzo Maccarinelli being involved.
CARL FROCH will fight Arthur Abraham by royal approval in October.
The Super Six clash takes place in Monaco and Prince Albert is expected to give his official blessing this week.
I have promoted a few shows in Monaco over the years and it is often a happy hunting ground for British fighters - but it looks like a tough fight for Froch.
