Haye: Audley Wants My Livelihood, To Cr*p on My Legacy

By Mark Vester

WBA heavyweight champion David Haye is well aware that a loss to Audley Harrison on November 13 could shatter his career and certainly destroy his momentum in the heavyweight division. Haye has vowed to send Audley into retirement when they battle in Manchester. He tells Sportinglife that Audley is attempting to destroy his career.

"He's trying to take my livelihood and ruin the legacy I've worked so hard to build. He's going to try to take a big steaming cr*p on it and I can't let that happen. I cannot allow Audley Harrison to ruin my legacy," Haye said.

It's hard to believe they were once close friends who used to spar with each other on a regular basis. Haye claims that he's always gotten the better of Audley in sparring matches. 

"He thought I was taking liberties with him years ago. He couldn't be any more wrong. I sparred him on numerous occasions, I sparred with him even before he went to the 2000 Olympics. I've known him many, many years and he's never got the better of me," Haye said.
