Haye wants Klitschko to compromise

David Haye insists Wladimir Klitschko will have to lower his demands if the two are to meet in the ring.

Negotiations over staging an eagerly-awaited heavyweight world title unification showdown between the rivals stalled over a disagreement on the division of TV money.

Instead, Haye faces Audley Harrison next month while Klitschko clashes with Dereck Chisora four weeks later with the credibility of both challengers in question.

But Haye, who was branded a "coward" and "clown" by Klitschko last week, is unwilling to soften his stance.

"Wladimir can't talk about his fight against Dereck Chisora because no one's interested in it, so he has to talk about me," he said.

"If he comes to the table and talks sense then it can happen. If he doesn't, then it won't and he can keep fighting the Dereck Chisoras of the world.

"I want it, he wants it, everyone wants it. I would have fought him in this fight if he'd come to the table correctly.

"But he didn't because he wants everything on his terms and it's not going to happen like that."

Haye has urged the boxing public not to be fooled by Harrison's conviction that he can cause a stunning upset on November 13.

The British rivals meet at the MEN Arena with Harrison adamant he can claim Haye's WBA title, but the champion has seen his opponent's bluster before.

"Audley Harrison has always talked a good game," said the 30-year-old.

"Even before some of his biggest losses he talked a tremendous game.

"That's all Audley Harrison does - talk. I talk a lot as well, but I also produce the goods. That's the big difference.

"A lot of people say we're both the same, but I talk and deliver. He talks and fails. I hope people realise that.

"The bad blood is genuine and it stems from his jealousy of my achievements.

"He's angry I didn't put him on my undercards and I beat him up in sparring one time, embarrassing him. Now I'm going to destroy him on November 13."
