    I think one of the main problems was the hype, he believed it and thought he was the best BEFORE he'd even fought as a pro. The million quid deal didn't help......

    He was made a millionaire before even offically turning pro, the BBC invested in him heavily and he was top of the bill and living off his olympic glory. Suffice to say it all went to his head he suffered delusions of granduer and was never actually a "fighter" in the 1st place. In my opinion his just a classic right time right place guy who capitalised on his skills in order to make some hard cash. I dont think turning pro was even on Audleys mind before he went to the Olympics.

    I literally fell asleep in my recliner and when I woke up Tom Jones was being interviewed. I haven't watched it back yet but from the first 2 rounds I'd say a top HW would have Audley out of there early doors.
