Harrison sets sights on Price scalp

Heavyweight flop Audley Harrison is confident he will beat David Price to earn another world title fight.

Harrison appeared finally doomed to the boxing scrapheap when he was easily defeated by David Haye in June 2010 in an embarrassing bout in which he threw just one punch before being stopped in the third round.

However, the 40-year-old marked his return to the ring in May with a stoppage win against Ali Adams at the Brentwood Centre, Essex, for the International Masters Championships.

And Harrison is looking to show he has got his love back for boxing when he goes toe-to-toe with the unbeaten Price at Liverpool's Echo Arena on 13th October.

Harrison, who hopes a win would boost his chances of another world title chance, is 9/2 with bet365 to win the fight, while Price is 1/7 to come out on top.

Harrison told the Daily Mail: "I got to 18-0 before I fell and obviously since I fell I haven't really been able to get myself back onto the pathway.

"Richel Hersisia, that was 2004, was the last time I was in love with boxing. I was having a big fight with the BBC, I lost my contract and I fell out of love with boxing.

"I had to sign with (promoter) Frank Warren and, I'm not going to lie, it broke my heart. At that time you saw my professional career capitulate.

"But I can tell you now, Mr Audley Harrison is back in love with boxing. I'm going to enjoy this on October 13.

"Obviously (the aim is) to win a world title. I've blazed a trail, I've fallen, dropped off, never given up. It's a battle of adversity and I'm going to stay on the course until I finish my way."
