He claims the boxing world has rallied around him ahead of our fight, and that he's now more popular than ever. Again, I don't believe this to be the case, and now have the evidence to prove it.

In the last week, we've heard Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson apparently lend their support to the Audley cause. They've talked about Audley boasting the smallest of chances to win and everybody has excitedly ran with it.

However, when you actually listen to what the two legends said, the truth is somewhat different.

Neither man backed Audley to win. But both did say he had two arms, two legs and a pulse. That much is true.

Audley believed public opinion was swinging in his favour ahead of this fight, but he received a rude awakening on Sunday afternoon.

Not only did his beloved Arsenal lose to Newcastle, Audley also took to the pitch at half-time and was roundly booed by the Emirates crowd.

Announced as the future WBA heavyweight champion of the world', the Arsenal supporters laughed and ridiculed Audley for even contemplating such a dream.

Those 60,000 fans at the Emirates know all about Audley and his story, and they know his history of failure. This is the same British public he has attempted to con through many years of mismatches and lacklustre performances.

No matter what anybody says about me, I've always put it on the line for the British fans and have done my best to fulfil my goals. When they announce me as WBA heavyweight champion of the world', nobody laughs.

I leave for Manchester this afternoon — see you there!
