SecondsOut.com - On 14th April 2012 at the Brentwood
Centre Essex, former Olympic and European Champion heavywieght champion
Audley Harrison, makes his return to the ring when he faces Ali Adams
in a 10 round Championship contest.
Audley wants redemption following his dismal
performance against David Haye, a year or so ago. Audley says he wants
to come back and give it one last shot, but Adams is determined to
close the curtain on his career for good
Speaking of his return Audley said ‘I’ve never
been more disappointed in myself as I felt that night…anyone can lose,
but I didn’t lose with dignity, so I was never going to retire off that
performance’.
Audley added ‘I’ve been sitting on the shelf for
15 months, so I’m grateful for this opportunity…with my right arm now
healed, I’ll have too much for Ali Adams. I intend to show I still have a
future in the game’.
Promoter Steve Goodwin of Goodwin Promotions who
has secured the staging of this bout stated “Audley has a big name in
boxing and beyond, as was seen with his success in “Strictly Come
Dancing”. We will see whether his fighting days are over. Ali is hungry,
fit and has tons of heart and believes this is his date with destiny,
whilst for Audley it is his final chance; retirement beckons if Audley
loses this bout…I’m so confident that Ali has his number; I’ve put my
money where my mouth is and made this fight without TV…
Adams may be somewhat of an unknown to the casual
boxing fan, however the Iraqi-born heavyweight, who picked up his first
title last time out in December, now looks to make the step up in class
by fighting Harrison.
Speaking of Harrison Ali said “Audley is a joke.
His fight with Haye was an embarrassment and he still wants to make a
comeback. I will give him such a beating that Audley will see he does
not belong in a boxing ring again.”
The bill will be action packed including the
return of Prizefighter Welterweight Champion Yassine “The showman” El
Maachi in a 10 round title contest.
Ghanaian champion Richard Commey, who has 11 wins
from 11 fights all by knockout, will make his first appearance in the
UK. His advisor Michael Amoo-Bediako says “ We want to show the British
public a future World Champion; in 12 months he will be ready for Ricky
Burns”.
Further top class fighters will be added to the bill over the next few weeks.
Tickets are available at £100 (VIP Inner
Ringside including Champagne Reception) £70 (Reserved Ringside) and £40
unreserved available from www.goodwinpromotions.co.uk or 01525 851150 .
