The bad news for 2015 is that the mega-fight the public have waited for too long, between Floyd Mayweather Jnr. and Manny Pacquiao, which was closer to reality, now looks like it won't happen. More bad news is that Audley Harrison intends to make a comeback.
At 43, he says he wants just one more shot so that he can go out on a high. The danger is he is more likely to go out on a stretcher. Especially if he gets his wish to face fellow British Olympic super-heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Poker-addict Harrison can't accept that he is a busted flush, a has-been who never really was once he turned pro after winning gold in the Sydney Games 15 years ago.
He hasn't fought (hardly an appropriate word in his case) since he was splattered in seconds by American Deontay Wilder in April 2013. David Price had brutalised him with similar brevity the year before we all recall his pathetic non-performance against David Haye for the WBA world title.
I first dubbed him 'Fraudley' and he now claims I was among those, together the then Frank (now Kellie) Maloney who 'messed up' his career. I can't see how.
Nominally we both may have promoted some of his fights but the truth is he actually promoted himself, always insisting there was only one way to do things-his way. That's why it didn't work out.
