Round-by-round: Harrison v Negus
Round-by-round coverage of Audley Harrison's sixth professional fight against Dominic Negus.

Round six: Harrison needs a big last round. He bids to dictate the pace and continues to land some left hand punches on Negus. But although Negus tries to come back at him, the Olympic champion has a good finish and remains undefeated in his professional career.

Round five: After the fireworks of the last round, things calm down a little in the ring. Harrison looks like he is taking things relatively easy. Negus takes a shot late in the round below the belt but he is the better fighter over the round.

Round four: Harrison continues to punch well and Negus ends up on one knee on the canvas midway through the round. But Negus is furious as Harrison goes in again on him. He attempts to try and headbutt Harrison and the referee is forced to step in but both fighters avoid punishment.

Round three: Negus looks in trouble as Harrison continues to remain in control of the fight. Harrison, moving well seems to be able to cope with anything that Negus can throw at him.

Round two: Another Harrison left hand catches Negus early in the round leaving him struggling. Negus' nose starts to bleed and although he lands a couple of punches on Harrison, Harrison's left hand continues to cause problems for his opponent.

Round one: Audley Harrison gets the better of the early exchanges as Negus is forced on the back foot straight away. He lands a good left hand punch on Negus in the opening 90 seconds. Harrison looks sharper than he has done in other fights.
