    The crazy thing is that if you look at the WBC rankings for example only two or three out of their top ten would give Price problems. I know he wants to take it slowly like a mid nineties RnB band but a Harrison fight is worth little at this point. Chisora would be a better fight for Price but clearly that's full of risk because of Chisora's chin and style.

    It's worth putting £500 on Rounds 3-6 (£1500 in total) for a Price victory.

    Should be a one sided fight in the ring - Price within 2 or 3 but you can understand why they made it.

    Outside of Haye and now Chisora, Audley is the only other British HW the 'casuals' are familiar with. Price and/or his management have chosen to defend the British title for now. That limits the number of available opponents.

    Fury - doesn't want the fight
    Sexton - already beaten him
    Towers - doubt they'd take the fight after what happened against Tony
    McDermott - beaten him
    Sprott - coming off 3 straight losses

    That really only leaves Audley and a 45 year old Skelton.

    Greater than the chances were of Sprott KOing Harrison in the third round after being dropped in the first.

    Maloney hinted in the presser that Mick Hennessy also wanted Audley for Tyson Fury, but Maloney got him.

    I like the fight, no matter what happened with Audley always wanna see the fight.

    This makes perfect sense really. Despite everything that's happened in his career, one way for a heavyweight to increase his profile in the UK is by fighting Audley Harrison. I'm not sure why that's still the case, but it undeniably is.

    Price should knock Harrison out and look good doing it, and he'll have a bit more of a name than he did.

    After this we need to see him step up in class though, and be more active than he has been. He needs to be fighting guys in the worlds top ten within his next 3/4 fights.

    I have a funny feeling Price is going to regret this.
