Two-years have passed since their last encounter, but British heavyweight champion Danny Williams still has a lot of hatred for Olympic Gold medal winner Audley Harrison. They first met in 2005 with Williams handing Harrison his first pro loss via twelve-round decision. Harrison came back a year later to stop Williams in three-rounds. Both have had rollercoaster careers since their two fights, but at the present Williams appears to be in a much better position. Harrison has lost three of his last six.
Later this month, the two of them fight only a day apart on separate cards and could end up meeting for a third time. Williams defends his BBBofC heavyweight title against John McDermott in Essex on July 18 and Harrison faces Martin Rogan in West Midlands on July 19.
Williams says that he's sick of Harrison and wants him to shut his mouth and retire from the sport. He called Harrison the "Julian Clary of boxing" and said the Olympic Medal winner has not accomplished anything as a pro.
"All I would say to Audley is: 'Shut up and go away.' I cannot stand the guy," Williams said. "Instead of talking so much he should go and win a title, go and do something. He's been a professional for eight years and he's done nothing."
