Audley Harrison has launched a scathing attack on the BBC for the part he feels they played in the disturbances which followed his defeat of Mathew Ellis in Bethnal Green last month.

Herbie Hide has laid the blame for Saturday night’s Bethnal Green riot squarely at the feet of the security team appointed by his rival Audley Harrison.

AUDLEY HARRISON’S 11th and most impressive professional win was overshadowed by a ringside riot involving his heavyweight rival Herbie Hide at Bethnal Green on Saturday night.

Herbie Hide and Audley Harrison could have their licences revoked if found guilty in the British Boxing Board of Control inquiry into the Bethnal Green riot.
