David Haye and Audley Harrison face off ahead of big fight

Audley Harrison today promised to roll back the years after coming face to face with David Haye ahead of their world heavyweight championship fight.

On Saturday, after a decade of disappointment, the 2000 Olympic gold medallist finally gets a shot at the title he craves.

"It's my big night and I'm really looking forward to it," said Harrison (right, with Haye).

"The Audley Harrison that won the Olympics and beat Danny Williams in our second fight will destroy David Haye. It's going to be a tough fight but ultimately I will prevail, it is my destiny.

"I've fallen in the past but never gave up and this will be my crowning glory when I become world heavyweight champion."

But Haye, the WBA title holder, dismissed his fellow Brit's hopes of glory at Manchester's MEN Arena.

He said: "We're about to go to war and it gives me a nice warm feeling. I'm going to force him to fight and I hope he's ready."
