Statement from Audley Harrison

Nothing wrong with that in fairness, if he'd been that humble for his career then he'd have a lot more fans. Should retire though.

 

Bless him, he's done amazing. Should be very proud. Not everyone can be a world beater.

 

Banged up inside at 19 to self made millionaire (through his companies) and Olympic Champion and European Champion. As Jeff said not everyone can be a world beater..he done well for a guy not really cut out mentally for Professional Boxing. He just didn't perform IMO...

 

I once sent him a message on facebook that he never replied that I was a bit gutted about, but he seems a nice bloke and there is far more tragic things then a millionaire getting stopped fighting for a world title. Embarassing for him, perhaps but hardly sad.

 

He comes across really well there.

 

if he could have spoken like this more often his support would have benn far greater.

 

I saw tears welling up in his eyes when he had interview outside hotel. I re watched the fight last night...his plan just never worked..that's all.

 

Shut the door on the way out.

 

All the best audley!

 

If he hadn't been an Olympic champion we'd have said he was a decent fighter who wasn't good enough on the world stage. How much of his arrogance was marketing and how much was genuine belief we'll never know, but he's done more than all but a few boxers ever manage and has nothing to be ashamed of.

 

Would love to see footage of him sparring the likes Of Brewster, surely if he is preforming like the way he does in the ring against the likes of Brewster he knows this aint the game for him?

Probably does ok in the gym and it all falls apart on fight night?

 

i hope he does not box anymore to be honest i feel a bit sorry for him

 

poor audley but still rich as eh:good:deal.
not bad work if you can get it:thumbsup

 

Fair play to him tbh, and good luck with whateveer you do in the future
