AUDLEY HARRISON says he is razor-sharp ahead of the fight that could end his career.
The 41-year-old meets rising American star Deontay Wilder on the Amir Khan undercard tonight.
Harrison fights just six months after he was flattened in 82 seconds by David Price.
But he bounced back to win Prizefighter for the second time.
He said: "I am razor sharp. I am now a complete fighter and I know I can become the first person to stop Deontay as I continue on my journey."

Damn, Wilder hits hard! We knew the fight would end like this, but Wilders display of power was very impressive. Wilder called out Fury in his interview. That would be a very interesting fight.
How many times does Audley need to be knocked out until he realises he has to retire, respect the guy for always wanting to come back though, credit to Wilder didnt look fazed fighting in the UK.
I think what he meant to say was "I know I can be stopped by wilder in the first"
lol that was ****ing brutal. If that fight went on it would still be a first round KO. Just more Brutal
typical afircan american hype job, 99% of them are.
Could be he is all hype, but it goes around. We finally get a view of Tyson Fury over here, and what do they do? They put him in with a dwarf, relatively speaking, and he still got dropped, hard. Black African American boxers are not alone in the hype game, actually it's hard to get paid without it. Consequently, I was more impressed with Tyson's nerve than his skill, he has the pantalones to sing after that.
I actually want wilder to be the real deal we need a few good up and coming heavyweights but he has fought nothing but bums so far ... and even calling them bums is giving them too much credit, hell, the local bouncer could put them to sleep. So, crap as audley is he's a big step up for wilder in that he is an actually pro boxer with a bit of pedigree that can bang a bit. So I'm interested in this one, expecting wilder to win and win quick, but if he's nothing but a hype job there's a small chance he could be shown up tonight.

Folks are excited about him because of his height and athleticism and perceived power punching. He's not being hyped because he is simply African American.

I don't hear anyone claiming Wilder is elite. He is also ranked 31st on Boxrec and 30th by the WBC. He isn't even ranked in the top 15 by either the IBF or WBO. He is ranked 9th by the WBA which is laughable and he has fought no one. So I am just curious as to why you believe that he is a hype job?
Still don't know what to think about this fight. Just in terms of punching power, it's a big step for Wilder. Of course Audley will actually have to throw for that to matter, but I really want to see Wilder take a couple.
He's not really given credit for appearing to be a thinking fighter who is pretty patient in and out of the ring. It's a good attribute, but with nothing coming back at him so far, still not sure of what his fighting instinct is in the heat of battle. He might give Audley time to throw, a lot will depend on how those sparring sessions went...if Audley already has Wilder's respect he might have a window to do something. Like to see how he reacts to getting hit with the type of technique Audley would be hitting him with because it will give more substance to what he is
fun change to have a US fighter of note go overseas and represent so I'll be rooting for him
He says that as if it would be some legendary accomplishment. Wilder has fought no one.
Yes but still it would be a big suprise. I just cant see it because of Harrisons glass-jaw though. But if Harrison lands first who knows? Wilder could also have a glass-jaw. I just hope Harrison manages to land one big shot on Wilder to see if Wilder can take it.
