The two British heavyweights; Audley Harrison and Danny Williams, came to blows on Friday, a day before their scheduled fight.
The bust up occurred during their weigh-in for their 12-round rematch on Saturday night at the ExCel Arena in London. During the weigh in Williams appeared to push into Harrison who shoved Williams in return; which soon mounted into a scrap before the two were prised apart.
Their promoter Frank Warren said: “It might be bad for boxing’s image but there’s lots of pent-up aggression.” So it seems that this fight may actually turn into an entertaining and interesting exhibition that should make up for their dull bout prior to this one. At the weigh in Williams weighed in at 19st and 1lb whereas Harrison came in at only 17st 13 1/2lb.

I totally agree. Harrison is a nobody and should hang up his gloves once and for all! I hope Williams knocks him out and some sense into him. He’s wasting his time and there is no way he can ever win anything - not even in the poor heavyweight division that he is in.

For those boxing fans out there who dont speak arabic I will translate the previous comment by “DANNYS MY HERO.”
“inshallah” mean “allah willing” or “god willing”
so williams can do it, god willing, with gods blessing
The final bit “ALLAH-HU-AKBAR” means that “god is great”
As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم)
(peace be upon you)
