Just forget about it Audley

TYSON FURY has told Audley Harrison to forget about his dream of winning a world title.

Harrison, 38, remains convinced he can prove his critics wrong by conquering the heavyweight division.

But Fury insists his fellow Brit is deluded - and claims A-Force's victory in the Prizefighter tournament earlier this month did not prove a thing.

The 21-year-old said: "I think Harrison has got all the tools required to win a world heavyweight title.

"But there's one major problem - and that's which Audley Harrison turns up on the night.

"The way things are at the minute, I don't think he could beat Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko.

"I also believe there's three main reasons why he won't win a world title.

"Firstly, he's too old. Secondly, he doesn't like to fight because he's scared. The third is simply because he isn't going to get the chance anyway.

"He's not even got a British title, so there's no point talking about world titles.

"Everyone knows that Harrison's good for three rounds, as he proved by winning Prizefighter.

"But when it comes to 10 or 12 rounds against someone who's firing back at him, I just don't think he's got what it takes."

Harrison secured the Prizefighter crown by defeating Coleman Barrett, Danny Hughes and Scott Belshaw.

But Fury was not surprised to see the Sydney gold medallist excel in the tournament's three-round format.

The undefeated heavyweight prospect said: "I knew Harrison was going to win because he was an Olympic champion over a few rounds.

"He's normally a good boxer for three or four rounds but the opposition he faced in Prizefighter wasn't up to much.

"They didn't have much experience under their belts, so there was only one man who was going to win - and that was Harrison."

Fury has also ruled out any chance of him being invlolved in a future heavyweight edition of Prizefighter.

But he admits he would jump at the chance to compete in a Super Six-style competition.

Fury added: "I'm not too keen on this Prizefighter thing as it's over three rounds.

"But if they ever do a heavyweight tournament over 12 rounds, like the super-middleweights are doing in the current Super Six, I'd be up for that."
