Podcasts about Audley Harrison

Buncey sits down with former Olympic champion Audley Harrison. At the Sydney Olympics in 2000, he won Britain's first ever super-heavyweight gold and their first in the ring for 32 years. He talks Buncey through his journey from a young and hungry novice to standing on the top step of the podium. They discuss how that moment led to improved funding and laid the foundations for the state-of-the-art set-up which has since produced seven more gold medals in the ring for Team GB. He also recalls how being asked to shave his beard was instrumental in him winning that gold.

Andy Scott, Gary Logan and Rob Tebbutt are joined by Olympic gold medalist and heavyweight trailblazer Audley Harrison to reflect on his rollercoaster career and discuss life since hanging up the gloves. The panel also round-up the latest boxing news including the failed purse bid between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke. We also catch up with a re-energized Josh Taylor as he makes his final preparations ahead of his WBO super-lightweight championship defence against Teofimo Lopez on June 10th.

For almost 15 years, Anthony Leaver has been part of the Matchroom boxing media team. He joined the promotional group to work across poker and golf, but soon found himself working on boxing, on Prizefighters and with the likes of Audley Harrison, James DeGale, Carl Froch, Tony Bellew and many others.

Here, he talks about getting the breaks, working for Eddie Hearn, his pride in Frank Smith's career progression and his unique nickname!

Big Liverpool heavyweight David Price took bronze at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and was rocketing towards the heavyweight crown in the professionals.He'd defeated John McDermott, Sam Sexton, Audley Harrison and Matt Skelton – seemed set for a huge fight with Tyson Fury in Anfield – and then the wheels came tumbling off.He lost to Tony Thompson, twice, and would in fact be defeated by three men who would fail drug tests in their careers.Price was reborn as a vulnerable puncher late in his career, saving shows with his marquee name and exciting style and for many it is a case of what might have been, but for the always open and honest Price, he knows he's had a good career and is proud of it.Boxing Life Stories is now on PATREON.You can get access to research, unseen photographs from Boxing Life Stories, go behind the scenes of the podcast with Tris Dixon and even get some episodes early.You can help support us through another 100 episodes and help us to grow by visiting www.patreon.com/trisdixonBoxing Life Stories is bought to you by HANSON LEE RESOURCING who were voted “The UK's Best Specialist Insurance-Sector Recruitment Firm for 2020” in the Corporate Excellence Awards. ‘Not only do we find the best people, we’ll help you retain them.'

Audley Harrison has quite the story. From humble beginnings in Nonsuch Portland, he has had a number of life changing moments. Harry shares his experiences in the early years with his Aunt through to his transition to entrepreneurship.

Joseph Parker remains king of the New Zealand heavyweights and on track to push towards the best fighters in the world division after securing a unanimous decision victory over Junior Fa.Fa, a 6-1 underdog, defied predictions of a knockout by lasting the distance with former amateur foe Parker, more than holding his own over the course of the 12 rounds in the headline event at Spark Arena on Saturday night.Not even a gaping cut above his right eye could deter Fa from having a crack at a major upset in the biggest New Zealand heavyweight fight since David Tua floored Shane Cameron in 2009.Hours after Prime Minster Jacinda Ardern plunged Auckland back into Level 3 lockdown for seven days, the three judges all favoured Parker with cards of 109-119, 113-115, 111-117.This was far from the statement performance Parker sought but it keeps his hopes alive of mounting another charge for a title, with Dereck Chisora expected to be next in line.Crucially the victory, in-front of a near capacity crowd, preserves Parker's third ranking with the WBO and sets up bigger fights to come.Fa, following the first defeat of his career, in his 20th professional fight, will need to regroup and assess where to next. The 31-year-old proved his durability but probably needs to come forward more and let his hands go to challenge elite opponents.There was no evidence of ring rust despite both boxers being out of the ring for over one year.From the opening bell urgency was evident with a fast pace set. Fa used his significant height and reach advantage to try control the distance with his jab, but also landed some decent shots on Parker.Parker came forward, regularly getting on the inside, to successfully target Fa's body and string combinations together while attempting to load up his right hand.Rounds two and three continued the theme of Parker the aggressor as he staked Fa around the ring. Fa was largely content to sit back and counter and, in doing so, copped some heavy blows. He did, however, regain poise to return fire on occasions.In perhaps a way of sending a message Fa did not sit between rounds, preferring to catch his breath on his feet while Parker used the stool to take in instructions from trainer Kevin Barry.Fatigue started to show in the fifth round with both fighters taking time to gather themselves.Fa began round six by catching Parker with a strong shot that sparked a burst on confidence within the underdog challenger. Suddenly Fa was more aggressive, pressing forward and connecting several more times to deliver easily his best round of the contest.Rounds seven and eight were even affairs as Parker regained his come forward approach to land some heavy shots but Fa's movement made him difficult to pin down.A big overhand right from Parker in round nine grazed Fa but the elbow that followed the punch opened up a gaping cut above Fa's left eye. Despite the best efforts of his corner blood poured from Fa's eye through the remaining rounds.Sensing he may be in strife, Fa emerged with intent in round 10 to land several telling shots on Parker - one straight right in particular an impressive blow.Chants of "Junior, Junior" rang out during the 11th round as sections of the crowd warmed to the heart Fa portrayed as he bit down on his mouthguard and Parker struggled to land clean shots, especially with his favoured right hand.The final round featured a flurry of punches, with neither fighter getting the upper hand.Earlier in the night on the all-Kiwi undercard heavyweights Hemi Ahio and Julius Long put on an entertaining slugfest that, while could not be called a highly skilled battle, did not lack heavy hands.Detroit native Long, who was knocked out in the second round by British Olympic champion Audley Harrison in 2002, dropped Ahio with an upper cut in the fourth round.Ahio was not down for long, though. The pair traded further big blows until Ahio caught Long flush on the jaw with a brutal left shot that sent the b...

'All of it comes down to Audley Harrison!' - trainer Stuart Scott on the state of training in the UK Interview from Oscar Bevis

After Teofimo Lopez beat Vasyl Lomachenko to become undisputed lightweight world champion at just 23, how big a future does he have in the sport, and can he follow in the footsteps of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao to become a superstar of the sport? Mike and Steve break down Lopez’s performance and discuss a controversial decision awarded to Lewis Ritson over Miguel Vasquez. Then, Audley Harrison joins the podcast 20 years on from winning the gold at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, to look back at the highs and lows of his career.

Former WBO featherweight champion Colin McMillan could be forgiven for being sour. Just when he had the world at his feet, as the reigning champion, he lost his crown in his first defence when he suffered a dislocated shoulder. Things changed from that moment. But McMillan has retained his highly positive disposition and is one of boxing's good guys. He had a fascinating career, trying to forge his own path, working with the late author Jonathan Rendall as an advisor, being guided by Terry Marsh and then, afterwards, becoming an advisor to Audley Harrison. In his own fighting career, there were big nights against big names when he was being touted as the next big thing and then came the disappointment of the injury that curtailed his charge. There were battles with the powers that be, battles with himself and battles with his shoulder. This is an incredible story.

In the first of what I'd imagine will be many strange (un)Professional Boxing Podcasts, I sit down with Corey Erdman (@corey_erdman) and talk about the effect coronavirus is having on the boxing community. We then lighten up the mood talking about heavyweights that may/may not have fulfilled their full potential, including: Ike Ibeabuchi, Joe Mesi, Kirk Johnson, and Audley Harrison.

Former European heavyweight champion Michael Sprott has done almost everything in boxing. There isn't one leading European heavyweight he hasn't fought as a pro or sparred with, from being in training camp with both Klitschko brothers, working relentlessly with David Haye, going to Russia in camp with Alexander Povetkin to fighting the likes of Danny Williams, Matt Skelton and Audley Harrison. On the way down, he also fought an up and coming Anthony Joshua, but often had to ply his trade abroad. Through his career, he was cast as the opponent or the gatekeeper. He fought contenders and champions with records of 8-0, 6-0, 13-0, 15-0, 9-0, 18-0, 22-0, 14-0 31-1 and you could go on. He fought Ruslan Chagaev, Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster, Alexander Dimitrenko, Robert Helenius... He's also a nice, humble chap but he has an itch to scratch and, aged 45 and with a 42-29 record, he wants one more fight. This episode also features Tris Dixon's Q and A from Twitter.

Antonio Esfandiari stole the attention of the poker world with his breakthrough victory in the 2004 World Poker Tour L.A. Poker Classic main event, and he kept it by showing off his skills as a high-stakes prop gambler while keeping everyone else at the table entertained with his gregarious personality. Originally known at the tables as "The Magician," Esfandiari excelled as a staple of televised poker shows and live streams during the decade that followed the poker boom, and maintained his status as one of the game's best with consistent wins on the tournament circuit.  Esfandiari won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in 2004, and added his second WPT title in 2010 when he took down the Five Diamond World Poker Classic at Bellagio, a tournament in which he has also finished fourth and sixth. He picked up another bracelet at the 2012 WSOP Europe, but his biggest score came at the summer series when he finished on top of the $1 million buy-in Big One For One Drop event, earning a then-record payout of $18.3 million. It was enough to see him temporarily overtake the top spot on poker's all-time money list, before being passed by Daniel Negreanu, Justin Bonomo, and eventually Bryn Kenney. The 41-year-old has more than $27 million in career live tournament earnings.  Highlights from this interview include stage names, a childhood at war, obsessing over sleight-of-hand, why Phil Laak couldn't just enjoy the magic, showing off for dad at spread-limit hold'em, binking at Commerce with the last of his bankroll, being more modest than Phil Hellmuth, focusing on fatherhood, falling off the all-time money list, the exhilaration of getting shot by Dan Bilzerian, the 90 seconds following his One Drop victory, forcing Brian Rast into a tournament beast, how Phil Ivey was stoic in the face of death, considering love during trouble in the skies, washing cars and dishes for work, his Persian calling for real estate, being on the celebrity D- list, autographing body parts, Pinocchio insults, boxing training by Audley Harrison, buying out of a 'no release' prop bet, life as a bird, and being able to tell his kids he beat up Kevin Hart.

Sixth edition of the 4Thumps Irish Boxing Podcast sits with Prizefighter: The Lightweights hopeful Jono Carroll as the team runs the rule over his chances. We also review the Bad Blood card in London where there were wins for Tyson Fury and Billy Joe Saunders over Dereck Chisora and Chris Eubank Jnr respectively. Ah, Prizefighter. Domain of the undercard, career rocket launcher for the likes of Willie Casey and Martin Rogan. Eamonn O’Kane took the all-Irish edition, Mike Perez powered to glory in an international edition. But who remembers our other entrants? Neil Sinclair should’ve mopped up in 2010 but it didn’t happen. Dean Byrne and Conall Carmichael seemed to be good outside bets but didn’t get past the quarter-finals. Darren Corbett’s been there twice and never managed to take the crown. Rogan returned but fell victim to Audley Harrison – who also had Coley Barrett and Scott Belshaw on his list of victims from previous editions. Paddy Gallagher unfortunately lost a few boys some dough – don’t mention the war – while the less said about Kevin McBride and Declan Timlin’s efforts, you might say the better. Joe Rea, twice, Peter McDonagh, Ryan Greene, JJ McDonagh, Anto Fitzgerald, Simon O’Donnell, Darren Cruise, the list goes on and on and by the end of it, it’s more a story of heartache than success. Can ‘King Kong’ Jono Carroll come away with the Prize? That’s the subject of our sixth episode of the 4Thumps Irish Boxing Podcast, Ireland’s only boxing show on any platform. We sit down with the hairy man himself and mull it over with host Kevin Byrne, co-host Ciaran Gallagher and special guest Jonny Stapleton, editor of irish-boxing.com. We also look forward to a whopper night of Irish fights on December 13 on BoxNation featuring Andy Lee’s world title challenge and Stephen Ormond’s eliminator.

Harrison had demolished Danny Williams in his last fight and was on course to face Matt Skelton in a world title eliminator. A 9/2 underdog with most bookies, Sprott came off the floor in the 1st round to knock Harrison clean out in the 3rd with a left hook.
