Stereophonics have denied that they are recording a song with Oasis and the champion boxers Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe.
Various tabloid reports have claimed that the collaborators planned to release 'Hi Ho Hatton' as a Christmas single.
However, Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones told the BBC that the band would be playing no part in the track.
"My mother told me about that, she phoned me up and she said it's in the paper... I know Joe but I haven't seen him for a few years,” he said.
“We used to play charity football matches together but I don't know where that story's come from."
Bassist Richard Jones added: "We were going to go over to New York and play a gig for all Calzaghe's fans in Madison Square Gardens or somewhere like that.
“It didn't come together, so maybe somebody put two and two together and came back with sixteen."
