Ambitious Audley plans world tour; BOXING.
AUDLEY HARRISON has only fought once as a professional but he already harbours vivid ambitions of a round-the-world roadshow.The Olympic super-heavyweight champion continues his learning curve against Derek McCafferty in Newcastle on September 22.
But he is plotting his path past the journeyman Scot and down the traditional, yet increasingly neglected, path to stardom.
"The British title is for Britain, the Commonwealth title is for the Commonwealth and the world title is for the world, " Harrison said.
"I will go to places like Australia, Malaysia and Jamaica and take the show on the road."
Harrison is also preparing for what he hopes will be a big-money future across the Atlantic and is already making tentative preparations for an American debut.
"I plan to have two more fights this year after McCafferty, and you should not be surprised if I fight in America in December, " Harrison added.
