Adam Booth has admitted he was "scared" by what he saw from David Haye in a recent training session and he is warning Audley Harrison that he will be up against an "impressive sight" when the two men square up on Saturday night.

Haye puts his WBA heavyweight title on the line against former Olympic gold medallist Harrison at the MEN Arena in Manchester and Booth, who has led Haye's corner for 15 years, expects his charge to demolish his fellow Brit.

"I had a pad session last night with David and it scared me, what he was doing, how hard and how fast he was hitting and moving," he said. "It's an impressive sight when you see it from my position and Audley's going to be seeing it from my position as well but I doubt he's going to be too impressed by it."

Meanwhile, Harrison's trainer Shadeed Suluki believes his fighter has found a new self confidence and will enter the ring a completely different pugilist.

"People are saying it's a different Audley, he's looking different, he's talking different, he and Shadeed are getting on very well," he told Sky Sports.

"They always felt that Audley had the ability but he just couldn't get it together - he's got it together now. He's at peace with himself, he knows himself now. He knows where he went wrong and that had to happen to get him to this point of maturity. That had to happen for him to be where he's at today, for him to step on over and achieve that and deal with it.

"We are preparing Audley for whatever David brings to the table. If David decides to move around we've got something for that; if David wants to stand in front of him we've got something for that; if David wants to fight in the trenches, we've got something for that. Audley is totally prepared to do whatever it takes and to what is necessary to win this fight. I fully believe that."
