http://www.dailystar.co.uk/othersport/view/162459/AUDLEY-HARRISON-I-LL-BOW-OUT-WITH-BELT/ He knows he can't beat Klitschko and wants the easy way out after. No matter as he will not win anyway.
really? Man for the frist time audley uses his mind! Anyway hopefully haye beats him into retirement and moves on fighting wladimir!
If and thats the big IF he pulls it off he will not walk away from the money the REMATCH CLAUSE holds for him as the then defending champion.
christ man, audley is proper deluded like....... he struggles to beat anyone unless its a scoring machine, and he can use his long reach jab..... shame the pro ranks arnt the same as the am's think audley has got brain damage on the go now, hes ****ed up man.
Audley winning and then retiring could be the best scenario of them all. If Haye wins he will continue to avoid the Klitschkos. If Harrison wins and is forced to rematch Haye, it will not only take extra time, but Haye could win his title back. Either Harrison-Haye III would then occur or Haye would continue to run like a track star. If Harrison wins, retires, and vacates the belt, maybe Vitali or Wladimir could step in against Haye to re-establish a WBA champion. I don't know what the rules are for a vacant title - title fight, but Haye would no longer be able to dictate such ridiculous, exorbitant demands. If he does, the current WBA ranked #1 contender (I think Chagaev) could fight in his place.
He's not obligated to. Winning a world title at 39 after the whole world had written him (including the majority of even his own countrymen turning their backs on him) he'd have every right to retire on the heels of that accomplishment. Anyone who knocked him for "ducking" the Klitschkos after beating Haye would be well out of line.
Agreed. Doubt it will happen (Audley winning) but he wouldn't need to justify to anyone if he did decide to retire.
