Great, all we need.

The question on everyone's lips is

CAN HE DO IT?





sorry

I don't want to see him against Joshua or Chisora.

He should be fighting opponents like Skelton, McDermott or Sexton.

is he marketable? surely he is either finished or one loss away from finished either Joshua or Chisora will stop him early.

I can see him rematching Wilder for WBC after Deontay beats Stiverne, Kellie can have a Union Jack dress made for that one

Nah in all seriousness i agree with Horse about not putting him in with Joshua,there's nothing to gain from Anthony by beating Harrison which would be as certain of a KO as you can get,Audley for all his flaws has been in with some of the biggest punchers in the world in his last few fights

Chisora on the other could be an interesting fight maybe depending on how Audley goes about things,i would expect Dereck to win but i dont know how much he has left,he looked spent in the Fury rematch and if motivation was a problem in a fight with Aud then you just never know


I know Harrison brought on himself most of his problems with his big mouth and timid performances but i cant help but like the guy,its not nice seeing an Olympic Gold medallist booed all the time and becoming a laughing stock,the UK hasnt had many Olympic champs so its a shame he's become a figure of fun to people at these big shows who most no nowt about boxing and are just jumping on the bandwagon

What Audley needs from whoever's managing him is to stop being the "opponent" or the "scalp" ,let him have a confidence booster and get back to winning ways instead of being cannon fodder for the next unbeaten puncher

Yes he can!
Lets get behind the champ
COME ON AUDLEY!
BELIEVE!

What he, and any other 43 yr old heavyweight who keeps getting knocked out needs is, retirement.

They could probably sell a fight with Joshua, two Olympic gold medalists fighting each other and all that.

Hearn better not put Fraudley in with Joshua- it would be a complete waste of time. Fraudley would be down & out with the first punch.

Three or four words spring instantly to mind. Redemption, believe, destiny and farce.

Is Maloney promoting him? Hope so as it's been a while since we had flag bearing dwarves and big bollocked sax players as pre fight entertainment.

I still have the sax player saved on my sky box and when in need of a quick fix regulary play this followed by a "Paul Gwaaaaaaah" McDonald special.

We need more of it.

Believe it when I see it.

All that article says is; "Audley Harrison would be open to fighting Anthony Joshua."

I'd be open to having sex with Cameron Diaz, but it doesn't mean it's officially happening.

True, but it'd be the best eight seconds of my life.

Haha and that's 2 pokes in that time too DD

They should offer him a decent purse, but that if he doesn't make the 5th round he gets nothing.

Tired of this guy sucking cash out of the sport. He's a millionaire and achieved nothing inside the pro ranks. He's prob got more in the bank than Darren Barker, Andy Lee, Billy Joe Saunders added together.

As fans we should tell him and any promoter considering his services, to f*ck right off.

We had that opportunity when he fought Haye.

Anybody who had watched boxing in the past decade knew that Audley had zero chance of beating Haye. As did anybody who'd ever read a newspaper or watched the sports results on the telly knew, because they media spent best part of a decade slagging him off.

Instead, you got a heard of people paying good money to watch the PPV, and then acting surprised that it was a crap fight.

It's hard to see who he could meaningfuly fight or plot a path that would get him anywhere near where he was (where he didn't really deserve to be anyway)

Hence why he hasn't fought since his 'comeback'.

I bet he could easily get fights, but they'd be 4 or 6 rounders on undercards, against nobodies. He seems to think that people are just going to offer him big money marquee fights, for some reason. He's always on twitter, moaning about it.

Best bet for Audley is another prizefighter series in 3 rounders against local heavyweights even worse than him.
He was finished at world level after David Haye, and wouldn't stand a chance against the best domestic HWs.

At 43 I wonder why he needs to still do it. I though his big brother appearance was his last chance to cash in before fading away

Audley fighting Joshua would be the brink of insanity.

I think he'll always sell tickets, although he's past his best now. He's a born salesman and personality.

Much like Audley's career.

He'd be good against people who don't have big power. There's plenty of them about he would prob beat guys like malik Scott, gerber, wladimir klitschko etc
