Audley Harrison
Wearing the FTP patches at poker events from now on, he also plans to wear the company’s colours when winning his first world title from David Haye in the WBA Heavyweight Championship fight in Manchester, England on 13rd November.
Harrison states that he got interested in the game living in LA and learning to play from some of the local pros: “I have had some great results already in the game and Eddie Hearn and I have been looking at joining the right team for a while now.”
He is not the only boxer in for poker; see my earlier article on Evander Holyfield participating in Poker in the Park here [4].
