FIGHTING Matt Skelton will be the making or the breaking of Audley Harrison.

They will come together in December in a fight which will finally show us what the 2000 Olympic gold medallist is made of.

The country has been waiting for Harrison to get into a decent tear-up since he turned professional six years ago.

He steered clear of class opposition for years then his fight with Danny Williams failed to live up to expectations.

But the trouble with Williams is that he sometimes can't be bothered and the night he fought Harrison was one of those times.

Both men sat back and might as well have had a cup of tea for all the effort and action they gave us.

It was a different story for Williams when he fought Skelton because the latter is a powerhouse fighting machine who never takes a backward step.

It brought the best out of Williams and it will either do the same for Harrison - or it will show him up as lacking courage or quality, or both.

For the fans who have been longing to find out what Harrison is made of, Skelton is the perfect opponent to find out.
