Gamers Take On Audley
Audley Harrison, the Olympic gold super-heavyweight championship boxer has revealed that one of the hardest challenges of his career was not winning Commonwealth gold or even beating Julius Long recently in just two rounds, but taking on the creative design team at UK games publisher and developer Codemasters!

The team wanted to understand the intensity, brutality and dedication to the sport so it could ensure that Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing for Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft XboxTM was the most realistic boxing game created and was what boxing fans were demanding.
