Harrison debut Announced

Audley Harrison will make his professional debut on the undercard of IBO Flyweight Champion Damean Kelly's fight against Paulino Villalobos on 17 February at York Hall, London - his opponent is Harry Senior 7-9-1 (4 KO's).

Confirming the fight, Harrison said: "We've taken our time to find the right opponent. Senior is a quality professional, whose challenged Danny Williams for the Commonwealth title. This level of opponent, at this early stage of my career, is just another indicator of my ambition."

Frank Maloney, heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis' promoter, under the banner of Frank Warrren's Sports Network Organisation will promote the 17 February show.

The 29-year-old is confident his fitness problems are behind him after getting the all-clear following surgery on his left hand after his gold-medal winning performance at the Sydney Olympics.

Harrison plans to train on both sides of the Atlantic, with North London his base in Britain and Detroit the site of his American camp.
