Definitely one to go to. Let's just hope nothing goes wrong in the build up. A pre-Christmas piss-up in London sounds good to me.

Give me someone to root for! Don't know who to root for since I like Danny and Audley.

BBC sport seems to think both Harrison and Danny has confirmed it.

Joint main event with Matt/McBride - Dec 10th

I'm getting a deja vu feeling?

Audley was on Soccer AM and they asked him who he would be fighting next. (btw, there was no mention of him be a champion of any type.)

He explained he is 14th in the "Main Body" (WBC). He said he needs 1 fight to get into top ten, and that fight can be against anyone (even someone in the audience).

He said that promotional teams therefore don't want to give him a fight and lose a top ten position for one of their fighters. He only mentioned WBC for the whole interview.

Then he said it was more complicated than that becuase as he is over here in the UK, some other fight is being lined up. He looked pretty smug/happy about it all, but wouldn't give details.

He also said that when he beats Kitchko, he's coming back here and the yanks will come over here if the want a piece.

Danny and Audley isthe fight people will watch more.

Yes! Yes! Get that pornstar stripped of his belt, I want this to be a WBF extravaganza. Harrison-Williams whips Skelton-McBride anyday. Is it 12 rounds or 10? God damn it this is too good to believe. I don't know if I can wait till teh 10th december.

Skelton explained just how important the WBU belt is to him in a quote in yesterdays Independent On Sunday, referring to the one he won against that Argentine:

"I lent it for a fancy-dress party and haven't seen it since. It's not like I miss it"

You build the title up Matt, go on!!

It looks to be going ahead. I like both fiighters, but I reckon Audley stops him in the middle rounds

You can't be for real this time, Harrison might win on points but I dont see how he stops him in the middle rounds. It took Klitschko 8 rounds of absolutely pounding him to stop him, and he was constantly throwing I dont see how Harrison could do it any quicker with his shit workrate. And Kiltschko hits a lot harder than Harrison does.

Time Will Tell.

Audleys power is under-rated and he is a better finisher than VK, so I think that an Audley stoppage in the middle rounds is very likely

I don't know the likelyhood of a stopege or not although I aggree that Harrison's power and also the quality of his combinations of power shots are both under rated. It would send a message out that he is a quality fighter if he dose stop him though as Williams's chin will not have gon unoticed by the yanks.

Anyone know if Williams is ranked by any of the organisations.?

Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves here? Has it been confirmed? Audley has problems working with Warren although hes in a rush to move along. Williams hunger for the sport has gone. I guess both Williams and Audley are on last chances though.

Its on for the 19th Dec

It'll be great to see the best 2 British HW's (IMO) in the ring together

It's on the 10th!!

Old Aud is pretty big, and throws a decent left hook when he wants to, so if he lands one of those on Danny the walls could come tumbling down.
No way is William's chin as good as it was pre-Klitschko. That unreal pounding he took is bound to have short circuited his punch resistance somewhat.

Trouble is, there's the chance Audley's chin could be even more vunerable - which makes this a must see fight.

“I want my fans in Britain to see me beat Williams so I can put the final tick in the box before moving on. It's a risky fight and one my advisors in America didn't want me to take.

Final tick in the box? He hasn't ticked any boxes yet.

Harrison dose dwarf danny a bit I have to say. the British boxing write up is good though sounds like a good confrence. In answer to the question where dose the looser go Harrison replied "ask danny" anyone know any more about the sparing session between the two that was mentioned

I think he meant he can go back to America without the Williams or Skelton fight hanging over him, if he beats Williams.

William Hill odds

Audley 4/7 - Danny 5/4

those are a bit crap really for what is a 50 50 fight.

Well, credit to Harrison for taking this fight - never thought I'd see the day.
To put this together, Frank must've been busier than a one legged man at an arse kicking competition.

I think he should aim to beat both before going back, if he does beat Williams then he should try and make the Skelton fight after. Not sure if Warren would put Skelton in with Harrison with no options etc, Williams is a different story it seems.

interesting if one sided write up hear

http://www.audleyharrison.com/boxingnew ... id=204&p=1

it's a pick em, but i pick Williams.

Audley has shown less than stellar power, accuracy and workrate. I think Danny will go to work and maybe stop him. Audley can't KO him because he hasn't got the tools or application to wear Danny down for an accumulation stoppage. And I think if it goes the distance the busier fighter will have been Williams. Audley may land some quality shots, but his isn't an intimidating arsenal to a guy who's taken flush Tyson shots and got battered around for 8 rds by Vitali.

This is if danny is hungry for the fight. If he isn't, or if he's behaving oddly/comes in heavy, I honestly don't know what will happen.

Yeah sorry its on for the 10th not the 19th (typo)

The article on Britishbxing.net has got some excellent quotes in it from both camps

Audley said "......I am still right on track with my plans and we have already almost lined up my next fight in the States in the New Year."

Didn't Harrison say about 12 months ago that a Williams fight would be a step backwards for him?
