You spend months preparing for a fight and, more often than not, the end result comes about in a matter of minutes. I know this will be the case on Saturday night, too.

Audley has had plenty to say about my training camp, knockdowns in sparring, and other alleged distractions.

However, I have remained silent on his own shenanigans. The reason being? I couldn't care less how he is preparing or what he is doing.

No amount of training is going to prepare Audley for what is about to confront him. Even if he had knocked out a prime Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis in sparring for this fight, he still wouldn't beat me.

Audley needs to speculate and invest hope in false rumours in order to build his own hollow confidence. I don't function the same way. I don't need to hope Audley comes in out of shape or comes off a bad camp.

I want Audley to have enjoyed the best camp of his career. I hope and pray he is better than ever and has knocked out countless sparring partners in the gym. I want him to give me something to at least think about on Saturday.

If Audley turns up and is simply Audley, then this fight ends quickly and embarrassingly for him.

For the sake of British boxing fans, please Audley, give me some kind of challenge.

We know you're a master of talking a good fight but, at around 10pm on Saturday night, you're finally going to have to fight one. If you are unable to do that, I'll have you talking nonsense in a brand new language — within a matter of minutes.

WBA world heavyweight champion David Haye defends his belt against Audley Harrison on Saturday, live on Sky Box Office and in 3D. For details on how to order Best of Enemies', please call 08442 410 888 or book via the box office function on your Sky remote control.
