Audley Harrison's next fight will be against the former Australian heavyweight champion Colin Wilson in Sydney.

Harrison will return to Australia, where he won gold in the Olympics three years ago, on 6 August and fight at the Sydney Entertainment Center. Wilson, 31, will be his first southpaw opponent. At 6ft 5in, he is the same height as Harrison.

In a 10-year career, Wilson's record stands at 24 wins and 16 defeats, with 14 knock-outs, while Harrison has won all 12 of his fights since turning professional after the 2000 Olympics. The fight will be contested over eight rounds.
