bear in mind, this interview is over a page and half in the magazine, not 10 pages, and yet all this shit manages to get spurted

I was just so angry because of the (BBC) campaign against me

I feel I should have been celebrated for being cutting edge

I've been stitched up

The battering i took outside the ring is the reason I live in America

Britain has lost out

In the build up (to the first Williams fight) I had no desire

I never wanted to fight Michael Sprott but I had to

I felt happiness when I lost to Martin Rogan

People give me no credit for the amount of injuries I've had to overcome

The ligament tears, the cracked ribs.....those things would have retired most guys

Im going to write another book

I need to get my side of the story out

I'd like to do one of those 24/7 reality shows to highlight the struggles Ive been through

Theres a lot of guys in the top 10 who are starving for a payday. I can force them into a fight

Both Klitschkos are screaming out for an opponent with marketability

My glory years are ahead of me

I want to fight David Haye in an all British heavyweight title fight at Wembley Stadium. Break all the records!

I know I can take Davids best punch - he couldnt get rid of me

Ultimately I'd hit too hard for him

Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa, waa, waa

I may have made the last one up, but you get the point. I think if you sat down with most sports autobiographies you would struggle to get as much bitterness and self pity, yet Audley manages it in a mere page and a half

Those are some quality quotes from the big man, my favorite is this one:

"I felt happiness when I lost to Martin Rogan"

I've said it before, in all seriousness I don't think he is mentally all there.

Come on, those quotes are borderline genius, never seen an interview with so many one liners.

I bet he wasn't even half as happy as I was and I can't stand Rogan.

Don't let your mouth write a cheque your arse can't cash. Audley did exactly that.

He always fought negative, he didn't beat the British champ inside 5 fights, he mugged us for £1mil of our hard earned money, even in Prizefighter he threw 3 punches etc

Audley is nothing until he beats Guinn, Sprott, Rogan etc in rematches.
