Latest Frankly Speaking column

* If anyone wondered where Audley Harrison has got to – I’m sure a few insomniacs are missing his late-night fights as they were a sure-fire way of dropping off to sleep – he popped up in Las Vegas ahead of the Williams-Klitschko fight.

But Fraudly, who has bought a house near the strip, declined all media interviews, claiming he didn’t want to take the limelight away from Danny.

Strange that - I didn’t realise Audley was in the limelight anymore!

And I believe the usually talkative Harrison was keeping his mouth shut because his career has stood still now the BBC have ditched him and he pulled out of a fight with Matt Skelton.

With no TV deal, no dates and no opponent, he obviously thinks it’s wiser to say nothing than look a fool.

**********************************************************

Taken from allegedly's latest column. How can he say Harrison pulled out of a fight with Skelton? The fight didnt happen because Warren announced it before the negotiations had been concluded. Ridiculous.

Warren's column in the NOTW is, in my opinion, one of the most badly written, lazily cobbled together, meaninglessly aggressive, self justifying pieces of journalism in Britain today - and there is some competition for that.

No one, in my opinion, could read that column and draw the conclusion from the evidence on offer that FW is a deeply thoughtful man or one of the good guys.

FW can't see a belt without hitting below it.

My only association with Frank was just over ten years ago now when me and my wife travelled down to Mansfield to see this new kid called the Prince. It was Naseems first top of the bill show on ITV and he was fighting a lad called (I think) John Micelli or something like that. Anyway I had taken our cam-corder with us and had got some good footage of the fights and of some of the Boxing celebs at ringside including Mr Warren, that was untill he noticed, at which point he called security and instructed them to stop me videoing and demanded the tape out of the cam-corder I refused and they told me to hand it over or leave the building. By now the Boxing was nearly over anyway so we left keeping the tape, although they did try to get it off me at the door until some security boss told them to just let us go....Said I would never go to a SN show again but relented not long after........Still got the tape by the way..

Jonny, I know you might not like this but he was definately in the right to do that. Perhaps could have been a little nicer about it, but it was an infringement of copyright laws and especially as it was the Prince, what was stopping you from selling that video.

He could have got into trouble with the TV people had you been selling bootleg copies of the show.
