• Alejandro Lakatos vows to expose Cleverly — Former world title challenger Alejandro Lakatos has vowed to expose unbeaten Nathan Cleverly on December 11 at the Echo Arena where the Interim WBO World light-heavyweight title will be at stake. “He’s an overhyped jumped-up kid who will be exposed for what he is on December 11, and I’ll give him a one, two that will knock him out. I’ve seen Cleverly’s fight against Karo Murat, and if he stands in front of me like that he’ll be in big trouble. I’ll punish him.” Born in Romania but now fighting out of Madrid, Lakatos has 31 and has twice fought for the WBO world light-heavyweight title. “It will definitely be a case of third time lucky against Cleverly,” said Lakatos. “I’ve been close to glory before, but this time my dream of winning a world title is about to come true. I’m sure that I will get booed into the Echo Arena, but by the time I’ve finished with Cleverly the crowd will be on their feet and cheering me.”

• Andre Ward presser — Andre “S.O.G.” Ward met with members of the local Bay Area press on Tuesday to discuss defending his WBA super middleweight championship a second time against tough world contender Sakio “The Scorpion” Bika (28-4-2, 19 KOs) of Sydney, Australia, via Douala, Cameroon, on Saturday, Nov. 27, live on SHOWTIME. “Mentally, I was preparing to fight Andre Dirrell,” said Ward who also met with his fans, mingling and signing autographs from Ricky’s Sports Theatre and Grill. “It was never our intention to not partake in the fight with Dirrell. But when it came down to the training we didn’t have to make a lot of adjustments because we hadn’t begun camp yet.”

• Manny Pacquiao out of competitors —  The Vice President for Golden Boy Promotions Eric Gomez says that the only fight for Manny Pacquiao is Floyd Mayweather Jr. next year if Pacquiao gets by Antonio Margarito this Saturday night. The World Boxing Organization (WBO) won’t be stripping Pacquiao of his WBO title if he captures the WBC junior middleweight strap this Saturday in his fight with Margarito, because Pacquiao has made it pretty clear that he doesn’t intend on staying at junior middleweight.

• DAVID Haye is more than happy that two of Britain’s all-time greats are giving Audley Harrison a chance of beating him on Saturday. — Harrison will attempt to relieve Haye of his WBA world heavyweight title at Manchester’s MEN Arena. —  And Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno have both said that the 39-year-old Harrison has a puncher’s chance of upsetting the odds. — Lewis claims that Audley has the power to “stun the world” while Bruno admits that he also fancies Harrison to cause a shock.

The fight is, ironically, the first all-British world heavyweight title fight since Lewis stopped Bruno 17 years ago. — Haye said of the comments of the two British ring legends: “I am actually pleased people are siding with Audley. — “After all, when this fight was announced everybody said it was a joke fight. They are not saying that now. (Source: Daily Star).

• DAVID Haye Speaking the Dailymail.co.uk, — Haye said “All you have to do is imagine what a right mug I would look if I lost. Getting beat by Audley would be more than an embarrassment. I would be beyond humiliation. it would be a catastrophe for me, my career and for everything I stand for.”
