Williams & Harrison set to rumble

Harrison is undefeated as a professional
Former British heavyweight champion Danny Williams is set to fight former Olympic champion Audley Harrison, promoter Frank Warren has announced.
Details will be formalised at a news conference in London on Monday.
Williams, 33, beat Mike Tyson last year before losing a world-title clash against WBC king Vitali Klitschko. Harrison, also 33, won gold at Sydney 2000 and is undefeated in 19 pro fights but has been criticised for the quality of his opposition thus far. Williams' future in the sport looked in doubt after he pulled out of a match with current British champion Matt Skelton at late notice in July.
Skelton turned down a rescheduled fight with Williams in December and will now face Kevin McBride, who beat Tyson this year, instead.
Williams v Harrison would be the biggest domestic heavyweight match-up since Lennox Lewis beat Frank Bruno in Cardiff in 1993.
