Haye mocks 'Fraudley'

Harrison, who won the European title after a last-gasp knockout of Michael Sprott in April, accused fellow Londoner and former friend Haye of swerving a showdown, urging him to "man up and sign" on a November fight.

But Haye, who fell foul of the 2000 Olympic champion two years ago after Harrison was angered at his refusal to repay earlier favours by putting him on a Haye undercard, levelled his own broadside at the 38-year-old.

"Shut the Fcuk (sic) up Fraudley," Haye posted on his Twitter account, using the less than affectionate nickname used by Harrison's detractors after his career failed to take off following Sydney Olympics glory.

"If somehow we ever do fight, that career-high pay day you crave won't cover your medical bills!

"Pipe down..."

A clash has been pencilled in for November 13 at the MEN Arena in Manchester, with all parties in provisional agreement but Haye yet to sign.
