    Because of his ring attire.

    No one avoided him. He simply never really fought anyone. And when stepping up comp a bit. lost.

    Audley Harrison

    31- 7

    notable wins

    Danny Williams
    Derrick rossy
    Michael sprott
    George arias
    Julias Francis
    Martin rogan
    Rob Calloway

    avenged 4 of his 7 losses.

    Olympic gold

    Prizefighter champ X 2

    european champ

    world title challenger

    All in all, his was incredibly inconsistent, had a poor chin, apart from Danny Williams 2 and prizefighter seemed scared in the ring.

    however. He was an olympian. He did win the euro belt one handed. He did avenge defeats.

    He made his debut touching 30, and unlike Usyk and loma, he wasn’t fast tracked and he fought poor caliber fighters, and when he stepped up it was too late.

    all in all, if I could’ve been a boxer and told I would win gold at olympics, win a euro belt, get a £1million deal from bbc, finish 31-7 but avenge half those defeats, challenge for a world title then I would be happy.

    audley is a punchline but is probably in the top 5% of boxers who have taken up the sport.

    So can we now stop these threads lol

    Just before Wilder hit him, you can visibly see him screaming. Jump to 6:03...

    As for the question, the answer is that they avoided him because there was nothing to be gained in fighting him in terms of ranking, prestige, money or titles. They sometimes avoid Evgenios Lazaridis for the same reasons these days.

    yeah audley did achieve what some of us could only dream in boxing, but that clip he was literally terrified. Haye, terrified. Danny Williams 1 terrified.

    redeemed himself slightly v sprott 2.

    but it was only sprott.

    but in fairness he actually achieved more than David price !
