Audley Harrison Announces Retirement Due to Head Injury Issues
The 43-year-old 2000 Olympic super-heavyweight champion has not
fought since losing to Deontay Wilder in 2013, after which he announced
his retirement.
Just 20 days after that fight he reversed his decision and this year had been talking of a comeback.
But in a statement on his website on Thursday, Harrison said: "I am no longer a professional boxer, and that is good with me.
"After locking myself away for the last five weeks, I've tried to focus and turn back the clock to get myself into fighting condition. I've also seen specialists for my brain, eyes and various other experts to test my body functions.
