Audley Harrison is convinced his decision to head to a training camp in California will pay dividends when he faces David Haye for the world heavyweight title on November 13.

Haye has handed Harrison his shot at glory following his last-gasp win over Michael Sprott in April, but he has been written off by many who expect Haye to win with ease.

The pair have traded verbal insults in recent weeks, but Harrison is now focusing on his training and has headed to Big Bear in California - a camp he has used for some of his biggest victories.

"This is a professional training establishment," Harrison told Sky Sports News. "Sugar Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, even Lennox Lewis came here. I have trained here seven times and never lost. Training in London with the distractions, this is a real camp with a real team and we are putting in our work.

"I have done my laughing and joking, now is the time for the serious business. I am focused and it is time to do it.

"The fights I have lost, I have not been in Big Bear training; I read a lot into that. I am cutting no corners in this fight and that will be the difference."
