Audley Harrison has vowed to make good his promise to become a World heavyweight boxing champion when he faces WBA title-holder David Haye in all-British clash in Manchester this month.
Harrison looked set for great things after winning gold at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 but a series of matches against underwhelming opponents and less than impressive defeats led to him acquiring the mocking nickname of 'Fraudley' among many UK fight fans.

At the age of 39, former European champion Harrison knows time is running out on his bid to win a world title but betrayed no trace of self-doubt ahead of his clash with former sparring partner Haye at the MEN Arena on November 13.
"It took me four years to win the Olympics and when I turned professional I said I'd be a world champion before I retire. David Haye will be in the fight of his life. Every second, ever minute, every round I will be in his face.
It's my destiny to be a world champion. I'm confident his best punch can't take me down and my best punch can take him down."
