Boxing: HARRISON READY TO RUMBLE

Audley Harrison on Tuesday predicted he would put his problems behind him and finally clinch a world heavyweight title shot next year.

Harrison, who has turned his back on the British boxing scene to base himself in the United States, returns from a year out of the ring following a hand injury when he fights little-known Billy Zumbrun in Temecula, California, on June 9.

After that Harrison hopes to make his debut for American television network HBO in August when he expects Samuel Peter to be on the bill. The big-punching Nigerian has overtaken the British star since being outpointed by him in the lead-up to the Sydney 2000 Olympics, where Audley won gold.
