THE man who knocked out Audley Harrison is helping plan Matt Jennings’s downfall in the ‘Brawl in the Hall’ at Beau Sejour on Saturday.

Former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Michael Sprott has been sparring with Sonny Jury before the Thames Valley ABC fighter’s top-of-the-bill clash with Guernsey’s number one at the Open Show.

Sprott, the 32-year-old Reading-based professional, caused an upset when he knocked out Harrison, the once great hope of British boxing and Olympic gold-medallist. The bout was nearly a year ago to the day as he defended his European Union title.
