The biggest heavyweight fight in British history may be closer to happening this fall as the Daily Mail is reporting that Audley Harrison (27-4, 20) has signed for a shot at David Haye's WBA Title on November 13. 

Harrison is expected to earn £1million and the fight could make as much as £5m with Sky TV on PPV, according to the report.

The normally vocal Haye (24-1, 22), who had previously been seeking fights with Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, has been uncharacteristically quiet since his April win over John Ruiz. Haye had spent a fair amount of time taunting and challenging the Klitschko brothers, but has yet to show he is willing to step in the ring with either.

Harrison, the 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist has been something of a disappointment as a professional, but put himself in position to face Haye by winning the European Heavyweight Title in April.

While this will be a big fight in the UK, it will largely be ignored elsewhere as Harrison is considered by most to be an undeserving challenger.

While a mildly interesting fight on paper, the expectation is that Haye will blow Harrison out in the first half of the fight and it will further a profile that is rising rapidly in his native Britain. 

It will also build up interest in fights with either or both of the Klitschko brothers and the Haye camp is hoping a win will give Haye some extra bargaining power when the time comes.
