Warren blasts Harrison


allegedly says WBF world heavyweight champion Audley Harrison should prove himself to the British public after labelling the fighter the ‘most difficult he has ever dealt with’.

Plans to match Harrison against British heavyweight champion Matt Skelton are in shreds after a deal fell through, Warren saying: "

I have negotiated with everybody including Don King, Bob Arum and significant boxers, and the most difficult I have encountered is Harrison.

If he is to be taken seriously he should take a leaf out of Danny Williams’ book. Danny went into the lion’s den to beat Mike Tyson.

If he is serious he should prove to the British public what he is made of - which until now has been all hot air."

Audley Harrison has "agreed in principle" to face an, as yet, unnamed, opponent in America on 13 November.
Harrison blamed irreconcilable differences between A-force promotions and allegedly for the abandonment of his fight against Matt Skelton.
"I am extremely disappointed that I will not be fighting Matt Skelton in October," he said.
"But the disrespect Frank has shown me, and his failure to back up verbal promises means I am forced to move on."
Harrison's bout across the Atlantic will be broadcast by CSI Sports on a pay-per-view basis.
The fight was apparently presented to Harrison before negotiations started for the Skelton fight on the understanding it would only happen if the Skelton fight did not.
"I truly believed Frank would offer me an honest deal this time around," added Harrison.
"Unfortunately, this is not the case and now, I am glad I kept my options open with 13 November.
"Frank is obviously losing his touch for making the big fights happen and he should stop blaming everyone else and figure out what he's done wrong."

I agree with most of what Warren said exact about Williams going for Tyson. In fairness Danny had nowhere to go having pretty much tossed his career away, Harrison still has the unbeaten thing going....
