    Mate we so do think on the same lines!!

        Here you go, this is what Audley said about Lennox and co helping him.

        Thought I'd drop you a line to give you an update on what has been going on.

        I have been in full training now for the last 2 months and have been travelling around to various gyms with Kelvyn, which culminated with 2 weeks in Toronto, Canada. I was invited by Lennox Lewis to work with him and his Olympic trainer at the Atlas Boxing Gym where Lennox came to the gym every day and gave me some valuable training tips and sessions which was great. Also Adrian, his Olympic Coach, helped me out and together I believe they have shown me some valuable lessons which will aid me in future bouts.

        I can't thank Lennox enough for taking the time to invite me up there and going out of his way to help me out. PURE CLASS!!! Also Adrian and his lovely wife and all at the Atlas Boxing Gym who welcomed me and Kelvyn with open arms. It was also nice to catch up with Troy Ross and Mark Simmons who were friends on the Canadian National team when I represented England. Troy is now doing well as a pro, while Mark decided not to turn professional. We went out and spent the time talking about old times and we all realised how much fun we had as amateurs. Seeing the world, representing our country, making friends and fighting only for the glory and the medal was sport in its truest sense.

        I was planning to fight in July and was disappointed to be informed that Danny Williams and his trainer Spencer Feron had no intention of fighting me again and refused an offer to meet in July. I was hoping Skelton and Sprott went ahead in May as that would have made Danny maybe re-consider.

        Nevertheless, I will keep ticking over and will definitely be fighting in September. Who, where and when will be locked down in August sometime.

        I'm still positive and focused and would love to bounce back against decent opposition straight away, but if I have to have a warm up, then so be it.

        To all my friends, family and of course fans, I can assure you that the dream lives on and I'm committed to fulfilling my boxing goals before I leave this game. I am not going anywhere. I am currently reading Nelson Mandela's book called 'Long Walk to Freedom'. His suffering and commitment to his beliefs despite the oppression and personal sacrifices he had to endure, has liberated and inspired me to keep believing and never to give up, no matter what. 'Let your courage rise with danger' he said.

        God is never asleep and I will rise once more for sure.

        Enjoy your summer, exercise a little, laugh a lot and keep positive. NO MATTER WHAT!!!

        One love

        A Force

          Audley Harrison should just retire and sell fishballs & kickyams. He sucks.

              I can actually see the talent in Audley...but he suffers from the same syndrome that Mike Grant...Sechew Powell...and Valuev suffer from. Which is: Zero fight passion.

              Valuev has the least of ability in those names...but its like a trend or something.

              Boxing is a very mentally taxing sport and...

              even if you got the skill dont mean ya got the will.

                  I'd agree, except that I can't stand Mayweather's mouth before and after the fight, so I guess I'd rather see Harrison...or maybe neither one, and instead just sit at home and give myself a root canal, without anisthetic...that'd be a little more fun.

                  Audley Harrison really pisses me off. All that talent and ability, coupled with a fighter that won't throw, won't box, and generally just won't do a ****ing thing. I don't hate the guy, I just don't want to watch him fight. It'd be real nice if he got back into the sport with a new and improved attitude, and started throwing punches.
