Harrison and Williams get punches in early

AFTER 36 minutes of sustained non-combat in their first fight in December last year, Audley Harrison and Danny Williams finally came to blows today with their rematch still 30 hours away.

The pair brawled on the scales following their weigh-in for tonight’s heavyweight contest at London’s ExCel Arena, sending officials and camera stands flying before they were ushered apart.

Williams appeared to shove Harrison during the traditional head to head photo-call, provoking a furious response from the Olympic champion as both men slung right hands before toppling over.
