Haye only ‘warming up’

DAVID HAYE views tonight’s showdown with Audley Harrison (from 8pm, Sky Box Office) as merely “a warm-up fight” as he aims to fight both Klitschko brothers and retire in 2011.

The WBA heavyweight champion defends his belt against fellow Londoner Harrison at Manchester’s MEN Arena in a fight only made because he was unable to secure a unification bout with one of the Ukrainian siblings.

While the contest has attracted a sell-out crowd and significant pay TV figures, it is expected to be a one-sided affair between the big-hitting champion and often timid challenger.
