	*On June 9, Adam Booth told The Times that the Klitschkos and Harrison were the front-runners to fight Haye in October/November.[https://www.boxingscene.com/articles/hayes-manager-david-knocks-audley-harrison-out-four] That same day, Harrison confirmed that negotiations with Haye and both Klitschkos were underway: "I'm told by my promoters that both David Haye and the Klitschko brothers have expressed an interest in facing me when I return after rehab. If it's either Klitschko brother, the task will be hard, but that's how I want it. I respect both brothers as they are effective at what they do but both can be beaten. As I said before, David Haye is a false prophet – one punch on that chin and it will shatter like glass"[https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/boxing-harrison-in-talks-for-world-title-shot-1994812.html]		*On June 9, [[Adam Booth]] told The Times that the Klitschkos and Harrison were the front-runners to fight Haye in October/November.[https://www.boxingscene.com/articles/hayes-manager-david-knocks-audley-harrison-out-four] That same day, Harrison confirmed that negotiations with Haye and both Klitschkos were underway: "I'm told by my promoters that both David Haye and the Klitschko brothers have expressed an interest in facing me when I return after rehab.

			*On August 8, when asked about the Harrison fight, Haye responded: "That's not been arranged yet. No date, no venue, no opponent has been arranged yet. I should know in about two, three weeks... Adam Booth is involved in the negotiations, so in a couple of weeks, Adam will have a name, a number and a venue next to it."[https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/boxing-forums/non-stop-boxing/424056-full-david-haye-interview-dated-8-10-10-doesn-t-rule-out-harrison?t=414058]
	*On August 21, Barry Hearn told Sky Sports News that negotiations were moving forward: "We are in talks, I understand the talks are going reasonably well. In the heavyweight division, there is nothing else out there as far as British fight fans are concerned, Harrison-Haye is enormous."

	*Two days later, Harrison said that the fight had been agreed to on principle and that it would take place at MEN Arena in Manchester on November 13. However, the contract was not yet signed, much to his frustration: "I'm about as bored as every other fight fan about hearing why you won't accept fights. What are we in this game for?" He urged Haye to "man up and get this fight signed": "So bring on the Battle of Britain and I will be the Hayebreaker come 13 November." [https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2010/aug/24/audley-harrison-david-haye-boxing] Haye responded on Twitter: "Shut the Fcuk [sic] up Fraudley.
