Audley Harrison: A win over Tyson Fury could get me a world title fight
October 28th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: 40-year-old Audley Harrison (27-5, 20 KO’s) is convinced that all he needs to do to get a world title shot is to beat the tall and sadly inexperienced fringe contender Tyson Fury (16-0, 11 KO’s) and that will get Harrison a world title shot against one of the Klitschko brothers of the WBA paper champion Alexander Povetkin.
It sounds like a sad, sad pipe dream to me. First of all, Harrison isn’t going to get that fight that he wants against Fury. The handlers for Fury are being ever so careful with him and are steering him away from guys that can punch. Harrison maybe old and rusty as heck from inactivity, but he’s got enough power in his left hand to knock Fury’s lights out. We’ve already seen Fury staggered in back to back fights against non-punchers Dereck Chisora and Nicolai Firtha.
You think Fury’s management want to mess things up with the potential Fury gravy train by putting him in with someone that can actually hit hard?
I really don’t think a win over Fury would get Harrison a title shot anyway. Fury hasn’t proven one thing other than he can beat 2nd tier opposition. Beating that guy will only additional hurdles in front of Harrison that he’ll need to surpass if he wants his big money cash out fight against one of the Klitschko brothers.
Harrison had his world title shot against David Haye last year and totally blew it, throwing one pitiful punch in getting stopped in the 3rd round.

fury would fall at the hands of harrison
I watched Ringside and I agree with what Audley said. Now I think that says more about the state of challengers at heavyweight level rather than ‘pipe dreams’.
Once again, I have to say Gilfoid makes things up to suit his points (for that day!).
And also, Chisora…a none puncher? I forget that your boxing knowledge is entirely based on snippets and highlights.
sadly this is probably true! povetkin wud probs choose him for easy defence
send this black brit clown back to africa and let run with the lions.
what a wothless lump of black british soot.
I think a fit audley would beat over rated fury its only a matter of time b4 sum1 beats him any audley could be that man, an he is right fury is ranked in the top 15 an a win would see him fight the winner of boswell or povetkin which he would stand a very big chance
guys got rocks in his head
Whats the point of having a punch if your scared to throw it just in case you have 2 take a punch
As much as i hate fraudley. And think any of the champs would beat him. Considering the shocking standard in HW if he beats fury, he would be considered for a shot. Its sad but true
f-off fraudley , go fight your fixed fights with someone else..
After his performance or non performance should i say against Haye, Harrison can’t be serious can he?

2. Fury will knock harrison out
3. If harrison did pull off a win, wouldnt get a Klitschko shot
4. If he amazingly got the klitschko shot, he’d die in the ring
