Mike Tyson Sees a Williams-Harrison Final Bout
By Terence Dooley
Mike Tyson has predicted that Danny Williams and Audley Harrison will duke it out to decide the Prizefighter: Heavyweights III title. ‘Iron’ Mike – the former undisputed champion of the world – talked up the chances of both men, before predicting that the fans will come out the winners on the night.
“That would be one hell of final. Danny is great guy and a great fighter,” said Tyson. “I don't know if Audley is content with his gold medal. It's one hell of an achievement but professional boxing is so different. Audley has tons of ability and style, but style doesn't win fights, it's the moral behind the fight.
“Prizefighter is exactly what the fans want to see - all out action, but it's going to take a special kind of fighter to win it. You have to get off to a fast start, score quickly but also stay composed. It was always my aim to get off to a fast start and throw as many punches as possible - Prizefighter would’ve been perfect for me! All the contenders are warriors and know how to fight but there can only be one champion.”
Tyson made the draw for the tournament last week on Sky Sports. The ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ lost to Williams in 2004; however, Mike seemed genuinely pleased for Williams when Barry Hearn confirmed that Danny is the current British heavyweight champion.
A Williams-Harrison final would be one for the ages. Their first fight was a snoozefest – won by Williams on points. A rematch saw Harrison blast Williams aside in three-rounds. A third fight would see two fired-up heavies duking it out in order to decide who holds personal supremacy over the other.
