Harrison wins in style to shake off ‘Fraudley’ tag

AUDLEY HARRISON took just eight minutes and 32 seconds to erase five years of underachievement and finally establish himself as a legitimate future world heavyweight title contender.

Harrison brutally dismantled his domestic rival Danny Williams in their ExCel Arena rematch, spectacularly resurrecting a career which until Saturday night seemed destined for the scrap heap.

Harrison’s failure to back up his boasts since turning professional in 2001, culminating in consecutive dismal defeats to Williams and Dominick Guinn, had rendered him a subject of ridicule.
