‘Fix’ allegations surface over Haye/Harrison fight after shocking video

Homeuncategorized

A new fan-recorded video of Saturday night's farcical pay-per-view WBA heavyweight fight between David Haye and Audley Harrison has thrown the controversial bout into further turmoil - with Haye appearing to shout 'Now' before launching the attack which dropped his challenger to the canvas.

British tabloid The Sun asked two lip readers to analyse the online footage and both men believed that Haye either told his opponent and friend Harrison to 'Get Down' or instead shouted 'Now'. Barely a punch had been thrown in the fight until the third round, while the victor Haye has denied betting on himself to knock Harrison out in the same round.

Boxing promoter Frank Warren, who already described the three round bout as the "worst fight I've ever seen", said after viewing the footage:

"You think to yourself, 'Hang on a minute, why is he doing that?' I think it's a question only David Haye knows the answer to."
We've embedded the offending clip below (you may want to skip near the 0.15 mark), so make of it what you will:
