    Harrison to make 'low-key' return

    This content is protected


    Audley Harrison will face Ricky Hatton's bodyguard, Paul King, in his comeback fight in Sheffield. Olympic 2000 super heavyweight gold medallist Harrison, 35, admits his ring return on 29 September is "low-key".

    You have to laugh, did I not read him quoted as saying he expects to challenge Wlad next year lol, fighting bodyguards is not the path to that!

    And guess what?, he might get knocked out. Back to fighting bodyguards and cabdrivers as the good old days.

    By the slimmest of margins, something like 50.7...to 49.3...I would hardly call that a majority...it's a 50-50 fight in most people's minds..

    No one will answer those questions to you because Audley WON'T do them because he'll struggle beating tune-ups and D class fighters before he gets to those. If he does go crazy enough to demand it he gets knocked cold within 2 rounds against either Klitschko brothers.

    Maybe you missed all his trash talking before, this guy talked so much trash like he beat every current top fighter.

    I am glad that Audley is giving it another go, and I wish him every success, but this statement is simply false. It sounds like he is actually in the process of avenging defeats and a fight with Wlad has all been signed and sorted.
    He has to beat Sprott first, and look good doing it before anybody is going to take him seriously.

    "I got my watch on holiday in Tenerife," Hatton said. "I've never had a minder in my life and he has to be surrounded by people telling him how great he is every five minutes. We're just worlds apart."

    Hatton claims he doesn't have a bodyguard.
     
  15. Fair play to Audley, he is trying to get his career back on track. However, it is going to take a lot of hard slog and hard graft that i'mnot sure him or his training team or management have to offer.

    But a good wuestion i want to ask is, is Audely possibly the most dissapointing impressive heavyweight gold medal winner ever to come around? Did he have the potential to win titles, and win big? or was he just the best of a poor olympic year, and filled out his pro career as best he could?
