In these days of endless trash talking, Manny Pacquiao has once again bucked the trend by showering nothing but compliments on his next foe.
WBC middleweight champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and challenger Andy Lee, made the mandatory weight 30 days prior to their clash on June 16th, 175 pounds for the champion and 174 for the challenger.
The World Boxing Council (WBC) has thrown its support behind the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) and said that it will impose bans on anyone found to be involved in the controversial fight between David Haye and Dereck Chisora.
While the announcement that David Haye will be fighting Dereck Chisora certainly gets pulses racing, I can’t help but think it will leave a stain on our sport in the long run.
The final countdown begins to my third defence of the British light welterweight championship.
The scene is currently being set for my next fight, the meeting with Scott Quigg for the interim WBA super-bantamweight title in Manchester on June 16.
