Gold 2000 Sydney Super heavyweight

Audley Harrison, (born on October 26, 1971 in London), is a British Heavyweight boxer. In 2000 in Sydney he became the first Briton to win an Olympic gold medal in the Superheavyweight division since the competition's inception in 1984. He was also the first Briton to take Olympic gold in boxing in 32 years, and the first at the highest weight class since 1920. After his Olympic success he turned professional, fighting in Great Britain and America, though without the success of other former Olympic champions.

Professional career

After his medal win, Harrison was awarded an MBE and landed a £1 million deal with the BBC to show his first ten professional fights.[3] The first was against US club fighter Michael Middleton, whom Harrison knocked out in the first round.[4] He was then out of action for several months with a pectoral injury, but by the end of the year outpointed Briton Derek McCafferty over six rounds.[5] Harrison was criticized in the boxing press for his seeming unwillingness to take on his fellow British contenders such as Michael Sprott, Matt Skelton, Keith Long, or Pele Reid, who would have given him a real test. MBE can stand for: Member of the Order of the British Empire Mail Boxes Etc. ... For other uses, see BBC (disambiguation). ... Michael Sprott, (born January 16, 1975) is a professional heavyweight boxer from Reading, Berkshire, England. ... Matthew Skelton (born 23 January 1967 in Bedford) is a British boxer who turned from kickboxing. ...


Harrison continued to fight in 2003, and in February 2004 he took out US club fighter Rob Calloway in 4 rounds,[6] outpointed Ratko Draskovic over 8 slow rounds,[7] and knocked out one-time British fringe contender Matt Ellis in 2 rounds. Although Herbie Hide and Danny Williams were calling him out, Harrison was instead trying to arrange a fight with 41 year old ex-World champion Frank Bruno, who had been retired for 7 years. A war of words at York Hall, Bethnal Green with the erratic Hide after the Ellis fight resulted in a violent and unsightly riot.[8] The proposed Frank Bruno fight collapsed shortly afterwards, when Bruno was sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

America

Although Harrison's weight was coming down (around 250 lbs, 115 kg), the bad press from the Ellis riot and increasing pressure to fight Hide or British champ Danny Williams resulted in Harrison relocating to the US to "continue his education". This move would be heavily criticised in the press, and bring his willingness to fight a dangerous opponent into question.


He had three more fights in 2003, against veteran journeymen Lisandro Diaz (KO4),[9] Quinn Navarre (KO3),[10] and Brian Nix (KO3),[11] in America. Harrison's technique had appeared to improve, and he was sparring regularly with experienced world class Heavyweights like Vaughn Bean. Vaughn Bean (born September 3, 1974 in Chicago, IL) is a professional boxer. ...


Harrison returned to the UK in 2004, but instead of fighting new British champion Michael Sprott for the British title, he fought unknown Dutch fighter Richel Hersisia for the lightly regarded WBF "World" belt. He knocked out Hersisia impressively in 4 rounds.[12] He would defend the title twice: a 12 round points win over 40 year old late-sub Julius Francis,[13], and a 9th round TKO of unknown Tomasz Bonin,[14] both fights being heavily criticised for being slow and dull. After suffering a serious ligament tear in his left hand requiring hand surgery in New York, Harrison was forced to put his career on hold for almost a year. During this time he was dropped by the BBC, who decided after their experience with Harrison to take all boxing off their schedule permanently. By now Harrison had acquired the nickname "Fraudley" and was again criticized for not taking on credible opponents or performing to the standard expected of an Olympic champion. He refused professional management, managing himself through his company "A-Force Promotions", named after the nickname he prefers, 'Audley "A Force" Harrison'. Harrison defended his slow introduction to the professional game by pointing to the need to gain experience gradually. Michael Sprott, (born January 16, 1975) is a professional heavyweight boxer from Reading, Berkshire, England. ... Richel Hersisia is a Heavyweight boxer. ... The World Boxing Foundation was formed in 2004 to sanction championship boxing contests but has a history dating back to 1988 via its predecessor the World Boxing Federation. ... Julius Francis, a stalwart of the British boxing scene, was born in the London borough of Peckham on December 8, 1964. ...


Harrison resurfaced a year later in June 2005 in the US. He knocked out two journeymen, Robert Davis (KO7)[15] and Robert Wiggins (KO4)[16] on The Best Damn Sports Show Period, and said he was now ready to step up and face world class opponents and get a title shot. However Harrison was unable to get a big fight with anyone, and with his career progressing nowhere he was forced to return to the UK in December to face long-time bitter rival Danny Williams in London. The Best Damn Sports Show Period is a sports talk show on Fox Sports Net. ... Daniel Williams (born July 13, 1973, London, England) is a British professional heavyweight boxer, and former Commonwealth champion. ...


Losses

Fighting for the Commonwealth title, the fight proved infamous for its lack of action, and Harrison's negative performance. In the 10th round Williams decked Harrison, but Harrison came back in the next round to throw punches at last and hurt Williams. The fight was difficult to score and Harrison lost a close, split decision to the delight of the crowd, who had begun to see Harrison as the bad guy in British boxing for his big talk but failure to deliver.[17] Following the fight he was heavily criticised by a number of leading figures in British boxing; including ex-fighters Barry McGuigan and Chris Eubank. Finbar Patrick Barry McGuigan MBE (born February 28, 1961 in Clones, County Monaghan, Republic of Ireland), nicknamed The Clones Cyclone, is a former professional boxer who became a world Featherweight champion. ... Chris Eubank (born Christopher Livingstone Eubanks on August 8, 1966) is a boxer and British celebrity who held the WBO Middleweight and Super Middleweight titles. ...


In April 2006 Harrison travelled to the US and tried save his career by taking on one-time hot prospect Dominick Guinn. Guinn had won 24 fights in a row until his own negative style led to a couple of key points defeats against Monte Barrett and James Toney. In an important crossroads fight for both men, Harrison was again reluctant to throw punches, and was actually outworked by the notoriously negative Guinn who won on points.[18] Dominick Guinn is a professional boxer with a record of 26-3-1. ... Monte Barrett (born May 26, 1971, Greenville, North Carolina) is a professional boxer. ... James Lights-Out Toney (born August 24, 1968) is a professional boxer from Detroit, Michigan and is a Huron High School alumnus where he was a 205 lb football quarterback in Ann Arbor, Michigan. ...


Comeback

In June 2006 Harrison scored a three round knockout of journeyman Andrew Greeley in an off-TV fight in America,[19] and was poised for a fight with Matt Skelton to try to resurrect his career. Skelton had beaten Danny Williams in July, winning the title Williams had earlier taken from Harrison. When Skelton dropped out only one week before the fight due to injury, Danny Williams replaced him.[20] Matthew Skelton (born 23 January 1967 in Bedford) is a British boxer who turned from kickboxing. ...


Williams had trained 8 weeks for a fight with British champion Scott Gammer, however this time around Harrison fought far more aggressively, decking Williams twice and winning on a third round knockout. Williams suffered a broken nose and severe lacerations.[21] Scott Gammer (born 24 October 1976 in Pembroke Dock, Wales) is a British boxer, based in Wales who currently holds the British Heavyweight Title after beating Mark Krench on June 16th 2006. ...


Following the victory over Williams, Harrison signed a promotional deal with boxing promoter Frank Warren with the aim of getting Harrison a world title fight in 2007. Warren and Harrison had been looking to arrange a fight with British Heavyweight Champion Scott Gammer. Frank Warren (born in Islington, London on 28 February, 1952) is an English boxing manager and promoter. ...


On 17 February 2007, he was knocked out by Michael Sprott for the European Union title. Having knocked Sprott down in the first round, Harrison threw a right in the third round that missed. At the same time Sprott threw his own left hook catching the off-balance Harrison flush on the chin with his mouth open. Opinion is divided as to how much luck was involved in Sprott landing the counterpunch, since he appeared to be looking down when he first threw it, but it is overwhelmingly considered that Harrison left himself too open to the possibility of being hit. The referee called the fight immediately, it being clear that Harrison would not make the count. Michael Sprott, (born January 16, 1975) is a professional heavyweight boxer from Reading, Berkshire, England. ...


This third professional loss left Harrison's future uncertain. After his win over Danny Williams in their second fight he had proclaimed that he would win a version of the world title in 2007 and then be "undisputed" in 2008. After the Sprott defeat Harrison claimed that he could make a comeback, but comments by Frank Warren suggested that any return to the ring would be for a significantly reduced purse, since the public would have no great interest.[22] Frank Warren (born in Islington, London on 28 February, 1952) is an English boxing manager and promoter. ...


Harrison announced on his website that he was back in training, stating "Lennox (Lewis) came to the gym every day and gave me some valuable training tips and sessions which was great." Some in the boxing media stated that receiving "training tips" at the age of 35 did not engender confidence in Harrison's ability to become a top-class boxer.[citation needed]


Harrison announced a low-key comeback fight against UK journeyman Paul King scheduled for 29 September, 2007 in Sheffield. However, he and his coach Kelvyn Travis were involved in a car accident on 21 September 2007 in the USA, and Harrison suffered injuries that caused the fight to be cancelled.[23] Harrison had also suggested that a deal would be announced involving promoter Dennis Hobson, but the cancellation of the fight meant that a formal announcement was on hold.[24] Harrison underwent surgery for his injuries, planning to be back in the ring around May 2008.[25] For other uses, see Sheffield (disambiguation). ... 2008 (MMVIII) will be a leap year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Boxer Audley Harrison Awarded Honorary Degree (358 words)
Audley, a Brunel graduate, is currently using the facilities at the University’s Osterley campus in West London as a final training camp before his bout against American Rob Calloway at Brentford’s Fountain Leisure Centre on Saturday 8 February, which will be shown live on BBC1.
This will be Audley’s ninth professional fight as he aims to follow in the footsteps of boxing legends Muhammad Ali and Lennox Lewis, who both used Olympic gold as a springboard to the world heavyweight title.
Harrison enthused, “It’s great news that the University is involved in this promotion and I’m looking forward to the public workout where I can showcase my skills to the students.
Boxing News : McDonnell : Audley to Fight "Dutch Liston" for WBF "World" Title (1180 words)
Audley Harrison today on the 29th January, announced at a press conference in London, that he would in fact be going for his first title belt, in the shape of the WBF "world" heavyweight title.
Audley made it clear at the press conference that so long as he is required to sign on the dotted line to sign his career over to a major promoter (for that read Frank Warren), he will not be fighting for the British title.
Harrison also appeared to reassure those gathered that the WBF title was not the ultimate ambition, and was not what he meant by becoming a titleholder.
