Audley Harrison

"With Hindsight-The Audley Harrison Career" By Scott Graveson With the Olympics fast approaching, and Frankie Gavin's dissapointment with the scales, lets remember out last big man to win the Gold Medal, the "Great A Farce" Audley Harrison. Roll your minds back to 2000, Sydney in fact you were probably sleeping, I know as Audley beat Mukhtarkhan Dildabekov (of Kazakhstan) 30-16 in the final of the boxing at the highest weight (Super heavyweight, 91 KG+). On his way to the final Audley had beaten: Defeated Alexei Lezin (Russia) TKO 4 Defeated Alexey Mazikin (Ukraine) points Defeated Paolo Vidoz ... more

After winning his gold medal with a convincing campaign (he even managed this with a broken hand). He has now embarked on his professional career. One fight against a mediocre opponent is too soon to really see what quality the man has. But I will give my thoughts on what I hope will be a successful career, one that should result with him getting at least one professional world title belt. Height.. At 6 foot 5 inches he will tower over most opponents. Weight.. His debut at 18 stone 8 pounds, is in keeping with his height and it will give his opponents a heavy punch. Movement.. Although his ... more

I am a big fight fan so when Audley Harrison decided he was going to go professional, I like many others thought boxing was coming home. Britain hasn't had a new heavyweight boxer coming up through the ranks for a long time now. Even though Harrison is around 30 years of age he is still Britain’s new boy. Obviously he gets loads of hype because of it but is he playing up to it? In my opinion, yes. Admittedly I don't know much about his amateur career but I watched him in the Olympics and he looked alright. There was one particular fight, I think it was the Semi-Final of the Olympics where he ... more

Three fights in to Audley Harrison's professional career and he still hasn't showed us what he is capable of. He may have a 100% career record, but he hasn't fought someone really capable of giving him a run for his money. His second opponent Derek McAfferty showed that Audley has weaknesses, but lacked a finsihing touch and Audley overpowered him. His first fight was a joke. We had barely settled down to watch the fight when Audley knocked out Middleton in the first round. His third bout against Piotr Jurczyk was not up to par and the referee stopped the fight in the second round in Audley's ... more

After audley harrisons gold medal spectacular he managed just to get damaged with a broken hand and nothing like paul ingle did a few months ago. Audley has also had several fights with other people but the most recent fight that audley had was a very bad performance, his fitness wasn’t as good and he looked to be in good form at the olympics but it seems he domanates the coaches. I think he needs more pushing so his career is successful and not a dead in a few months. Back in the olympics audlery harrison was the talk of the press. What happened to him when he fights now, noone heres ... more
