Audley Harrison has been given a lifeline in the heavyweight division being told to go back to where he should have begun with a Southern Area title shot.
John Rooney manager of Mickey Steeds the current Southern Area heavyweight champion has offered 'A' Force a chance to resurrect his career with a fight for the title that he believes he should have fought for at the beginning of his career.
Of course Audley went straight from the Olympic gold medal to handling his own career and appearing as the headline act on the BBC a move that alienated a lot of the boxing purists.
After winning the WBF title he then came unstuck over twelve rounds against Danny Williams and then again recently suffered his second defeat to unheralded Dominic Guinn again on points.
Many are now saying it is time for Audley to hang up the gloves, but if he does want to carry on and start again then the offer from Rooney is on the table.
