"I'm delighted that the Rogan fight has been rearranged so quickly," said Harrison. "I'm looking forward to getting my career back on track and defeating Rogan will be the perfect way of signalling my intentions." Arthur will top the bill with a WBO super-featherweight title defence against Nicky Cook, while Amir Khan will also appear at lightweight against an unnamed opponent.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Honestly, i think Audrey is absolutely awful, too many flaws to mention. He could have some domestic success but world champ? NO WAY!!! How about Haye facing him as a warm up? he is big enough and can dig and thats about all he has going for him!! LOL

It just shows that AM gold does not instantly translate into Pro Champ, Amir Khan is another example of this ... he is seriously over rated and needs to sort his defence out quick sharp if he wants to be a real contender on the world stage. As for Audley, its only just occurred to me, this Rogan guy, is he the bloke who won Prizefighter? If so ....WTF!!! he is 37 years old and nothing but a brawler, fuck me i may as well fight Audrey myself!!! And this is the fight that Audrey wants to use to get back on the world stage?????

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I have always hated Harrison for the reason that he is actually talented. But never made anything of it as a pro, He was a very good amateur fighter but never made the transition. Although, I think he will beat Rogan as he is much more talented and skillfull i really hope Rogan can win. I like Rogan after seeing him on "The Prizefighter", He was very entertaining although lacking polish or much method |

As for Audrey i think he should have concentrated on his boxing rather than going all out to do everything for himself, such as managing/promoting himself at such an early stage in his career .... maybe he could have focussed a little more and made more of his talents.
