message: There were several problems with this sortable table - see HELP:SORTING for information on how they work; the big problems are that the sorting process is pretty "dumb", it will sort dates entered as "17 July, 2009" etc by the "17" before the "2009", and names like "Brian Nix" by "Brian" not "Nix". The trick is to use :Template:Sort for the names/surnames issue and :Template:Dts for dates. To see the difference, compare the two revisions once the sorting was fixed and with the problems before.

replies: text: Its not more or less useless than any other nickname - nicknames are central piece of information with respect to boxers and should be included in the infobox - concensus on the Boxing Project backs this up - why are you editing against concensus?--Vintagekits (talk) 16:04, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

message: In an interview on a British television programme called "Ringside" after the David Haye fight Harrison expressed his intention to continue his career and give it one last shot. He went on and said, "The dirth at the top level at the moment is so bad and the Klitschko's are so desperately looking for challengers... For example, If I fought Tyson Fury for the British Commonwealth that one victory could potentially get me back a world title shot." The claim was laughed upon by people that interviewed him.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Audley Harrison's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "WBN":
From David Haye: 
From Anthony Joshua: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

message: Please remove from the lede the sentence "He has also competed for the WBC Heavyweight title, one of the four major world championships in the sport".

message: Per #Semi-protected edit request on 23 August 2022 above, please remove the sentence "He has also competed for the WBC Heavyweight title, one of the four major world championships in the sport" from the lede. As stated before, it is unsourced, and not in the main body of the article. The new so-called source added, which says "Audley Harrison has moved closer to a potential world heavyweight title shot after moving up to 15th in the new World Boxing Council rankings". That he was ranked #15 in the WBC rankings does not mean he ever actually competed for the WBC Heavyweight title, like this article still incorrectly says. Per WP:V and WP:LEDE, this should be removed. It does not n need to be reworded, since the World Boxing Council is an organisation that sanctions title fights, they are not a promotion. 81.96.130.162 (talk) 17:15, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
