Shocked?

This was the guy who said he could win the British title within five fights and an hour after being beaten by Sprott claimed he should have been able to continue.

The man has lived in denial for years.

Denial or dellusion?

This is all very depressing.

Audley is a smart guy, but this sort of thing is a PR nightmare and will not endear him to most Boxing fans I would imagine.

He should in my personal opinion concentrate on his Boxing career and be trying to improve his image/reputation rather than threating legal action over a few semi-offensive comments that most people would have forgotten about by now if Audleys actions had not brought them back into the public eye.

With ragards to Boxing News why didn't Audley just ring them up to give his side of the story? Many have done this in the past and Boxing News have printed the Boxers side of the story.

Why get lawyers involved?

i hope audrey aint reading all this he'll have is people talk to your people

True, he did bring them back into the public eye, but the effect of the original articles was negative. There were threads on here gloating about it, taking it as further "proof" about perceived negative aspects of Audley's character.

The way he is reacting you would have thought they were saying Lennox was playing "hide the rasta sausage" with Audley.

Please withdraw this inference that Lennox is in any way light footed. He refuted that allegation many years ago in The Sun. Please apologise immediately

Plus, while Boxing News have always been more than fair to Audley, The Mirror has quite a history of negative coverage, and often without it being merited.

Actually anybody who knows me on here would assure you that I would be about the last person to say that Lennox might bat for the other side.

It was just a joke and way of pointing out that Harrison was badly over-reacting.

Skelton-McDermott should have more than justified the entry fee that night. Williams-Harrison only looks bad by comparison. I mean, who could have lived up to that epic?

im only joking mate, that's sport for ya isnt it, ive paid to see good fights and piss poor ones, good games of rugby or cricket and bad ones.
Nature of the beast and lest we forgoet Danny was just as much to blame that night.

Yeah mcdermott Skelton was over in a flash! dont think Big Jon will ever come back from that really.

As I recall Khan was blistering that night though in about his 5th or 6th fight i think.

Woah, telling the truth when it deflects criticism from Audley is tantamount to blasphemy around these parts.

It goes back to what Terry D was saying elsewhere, about what we can allow in fighters, based on their personality.

On that night, BOTH boxers were appalling, but ONLY Audley got lambasted for it because, well, Danny is a nice guy.

yeah and i supose the fact that Danny has been a trier in the past V vitali and potter of course, but fact remains he was out of shape and crap that night.

That's true but Danny gave us that back from the brink win over Tyson and the one armed KO of Mark Potter so he didn't owe us as much. What has Audley ever offered the British fight fan? Hollow third person ramblings and a load of empty rhetoric and broken promises.... :( :( Audley you said British champ in five fights, you lied to us!!!!!

I see Boxing news run their apology today - Word for word the same as what the Mirror printed.

So it would appear correct that the folks represeting audley do have the final say over the print.

I guess they have no control over the picture used in the piece though?

I'd have been tempted to put a pic of him lying on his arse after Sprott clocked him

That's the problem isn't it?

He won the gold then sold us a lie about a supposed professional career for £1M+. As only a very few realised the con until quite a few fights in & and due of course his disagreeable persona he'll never make up his goodwill deficit no matterwhat he does now.
