    Harrison to make 'low-key' return



    Audley Harrison will face Ricky Hatton's bodyguard, Paul King, in his comeback fight in Sheffield.

    Olympic 2000 super heavyweight gold medallist Harrison, 35, admits his ring return on 29 September is "low-key".

    Harrison has not been in action since his spectacular knock-out by Michael Sprott in February.

    King, 33, has lost his last 13 fights, and will meet Harrison on the undercard of Clinton Woods' IBF light-heavyweight defence against Julio Gonzalez.

    Harrison is attempting to piece back together a career that was shattered by his devastating defeat to Sprott.

    He said on his website: "This outing is low-key and will give me the chance to shake off some ring rust. I expect to be back in the ring in November or December."

    I hope he does well, I think he was pretty unlucky, I men it really is balls to the wall time hes got say 3 years and hes gonna have to do something special, I mean when he actually opens up and fights he is quite capable, but sometimes he just looks like a rabbit caught in headlights.

      Did he have any other choice but to be low-key? I can't even believe this guys name is still being mentioned on a boxing website.

            You can't fault him for trying. It's a long road for him though.

                He is capable, but i now realize why he looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights. When a punch lands on his chin, he goes to sleep! So he is obviously going to be fearful when people throw punches at him. I was always wondering why he was so apprehensive at times, me being deluded into thinking he had a granite jaw. But now we know why!

                But i feel sorry for the guy and i hope he does well. And have alwasys hoped he would do well.

                    I was really pulling for fat bastard Williams the first time aound. If Sprott's onesided clubbing doesn't get rid of Harrison nothing will.
