Sky Sports have officially confirmed that the WBA world heavyweight title showdown between David Haye and Audley Harrison on Saturday, November 13, will be the world’s first ever boxing match televised live in 3D.

“Audley was going to have a hard enough time keeping up with me as it is, but now he’s got no chance in 3D. He’s going to feel like he’s just walked in mid-way through Inception. He’ll think he’s being surrounded.

“For a man as mentally delicate as Audley, the added pressure of 3D could tip him over the edge. The last thing a paranoid schizophrenic wants is things jumping out at him.” Said Haye.

“This fight is going to be a three-dimensional beating of a one-dimensional challenger,” warned Haye. “In addition to the 3D glasses, fight fans ordering this bout should be given a sick bag and an inhaler. They won’t just be watching a beat-down on screen, they’ll now be able to feel every punch, thanks to the beauty of 3D.

“I can assure everybody that watches the fight in 3D that, at some point during the fight, Audley Harrison will land on your lap in a crumpled heap.

“I have no doubt Audley will be seeing three of me once I land my right hand on his jaw – and that’s got nothing to do with the glasses.”

I wonder who writes David Haye's script? Think he sits around with his bros and they all bounce jokes off each other so Haye can practice his insults?

Having the fight in 3D does increase the chances of me buying the show though... a little.

Yeahyy....

This 3D craze (in general, not even for this bout) is getting ridiculous...

in order to watch this in 3D, you need 3D glasses and a specially equipped television. So unless you're in England and have a nearby pub to go to with 3D TVs, you're gonna be out of luck.

Will they be showing the fight in theaters?

I am probably gonna hit a pub with 3d just to see what it is like

Time for Audley to "realize the dream" I think!

Haye only fights twice a year, says he is about to retire, and yet wastes a defence on someone who may well not be in the top 5 best in the UK?

I'm hoping Audley pulls it off. That said, I expect him to be stopped inside a few rounds.

3-D makes this fight a bit of an event I guess... like Mayweather fighting Marquez being shown in theaters.

As far as the bout itself, Haye should've cleaned house in Britain 2 years ago. It would've made him look a lot more legitimate than he does right now - as it stands this fight looks like a farce.

Then again --- when was the last time Haye fought someone with a solid jab? Not Barrett... not Ruiz... not even Valuev, though the height experience against the giant should help Haye. David needs to come at Audley in the first two rounds the way he came at Nicolai in the 12th round. Anything less than a spectacular knockout will only bring Haye down. Of course he'll still cash in against a Klitschko with a sorry UD, a TD win on cuts, or even a draw.

I bet even if he loses Vitali will be glad to knock him out while Wlad lifts the belt off Audley. Neither guy survives a Klitschko. But if Haye can obliterate Audley he'll help us all with the betting odds against Vit or Wlad!

sigh... I'm so sick of 3D...
