Last night, The Sun reported that Olympic gold medal winner Audley Harrison (31-6, 23KOs) received an offer to face undefeated heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27KOs) on the Amir Khan vs. Julio Diaz undercard, scheduled for April 27th at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena.
Audley took his Twitter page today and wrote - "No secrets in boxing eh! I have AGREED to take [the] fight with 5 weeks notice. We're close, hopefully we get there on all details. Nothing more."
Last month Audley won his second Prizefighter tournament. Wilder and Audley have sparred in the past, with the British boxer praising Wilder's power. If Audley rejects the offer, Sheehan says Belfast’s Martin Rogan (16-4, 8KOs) is ready to step in and face Wilder. Rogan lost in the second round of the Prizefighter tourney to Audley. He knocked out Albert Sosnowski in the first round.
