Matt Skelton Bails On Audley Harrison
By Robert Ecksel December 1st, 2006Danny Williams/Audley Harrison may replace injured Matt Skelton
Due to a hand injury, Matt Skelton (21-1, 18 KOs) has pulled out of his December 9 fight with Audley “A-Force� Harrison (20-2, 15 KOs) at the London Excel Arena in the UK.
Promoter Frank Warren has contacted one-time Mike Tyson conqueror and one-time Vitali Klitschko victim, Danny “The Brixton Bomber� Williams (36-5, 29 KOs), who has split two fights with Skelton, and has offered him another shot at “A-Force� Harrison, who Williams met and defeated in a lackluster affair last December.
According to Ant Evans in SecondsOut.com, Williams has been “training like a dog” and his weight is “under 19stone.â€? One stone equals 14 pounds, so Danny Williams, both a chowhound and fighter at heart, is looking pretty mean and lean at a seemingly semi-svelte 266 pounds. When he fought Skelton the second time he tipped the scales at 21 stone or 294 pounds, so maybe things are looking up for Danny Williams.

Danny will beat him again, and I reckon this time he just might be able to stop him…
Provided he turns up in good shape.

Danny is still “The Man”. Harrison will always be gun-shy. Provided Danny is in shape he will have Audley looking to his corner to get him out of there from about the sixth round!
