Klitschko Gives Harrison a Shot To Knock David Haye Out

By Mark Vester

WBC/IBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is giving Audley Harrison a puncher's chance at beating WBA king David Haye on November 13 in Manchester. Klitschko is hoping that Haye can walk away with a win, but he doesn't rule out a possible knockout win by Harrison.

"To be honest with you, I'm really afraid that David Haye can get knocked out. I think he should win this fight, but there have been a lot of doubts with David Haye. I think since he moved to the heavyweight division, he slowed down and he's not as fast as he was. That's my opinion. I hope that this man stops talking garbage and goes through with his promises [to fight me]," Klitschko said.

If a fight with Haye ever happens, Klitschko has promised to punish the British fighter as long as he possibly can before the referee stops the fight or Haye quits or a knockout is achieved.

"If the fight with Haye happens, I will not make it fast. I will make it long. As I said before, I will make it go twelve rounds, and I will knock him out in the twelfth round. And I will enjoy the process," Klitschko said.
