With the 29th installment of the popular boxing contest at London’s famous York Hall tonight and with Audley Harrison in the line up there’s bound to be some controversy.
Promoter Eddie Hearn told DAILY SPORT “I don’t know what it is that makes him want to come back and take all this stick and criticism because let’s be honest he has had more comebacks than Chas and Dave. Maybe he is a sandwich short of a picnic.
“The venue for Saturday’s Betfair Prizefighter sold out in a few weeks and we expect impressive viewing figures with the whole of the UK essentially tuning in to watch him get knocked out. Whatever happens on Saturday night, I wish Audley all the best.”
Oh well an Audley victory will have A Force calling out every heavyweight on the planet come Sunday morning.
Spornsor Betfair currently make Harrison second favourite to win the 29th edition of Prizefighter at 100/30 behind American Travis Walker who is available at 2/1. Albert Sosnowski is 4/1 ahead of Ian Lewison at 13/2. Martin Rogan is an 7/1 shout to win his second Prizefighter, with Derric Rossy 16/1, Claus Bertino 25/1 and Timo Hoffmann 29/1.
