 | Boxing19.04.2008 - It was a fantastic win for the Welsh Dragon in front of his home crowd of more than 50,000 fans in the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, and a do-or-die fight for him which may sound like an odd statement to make considering that he was a fighter who was unbeaten in 43 fights and was the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world already, as a result of his scintillating win over the American favourite Jeff Lacy in March 2006.

 | Boxing10.04.2008 - I was interested to learn recently that promoter Frank Moloney was going to feature a woman’s boxing bout on one of his bills for the first time. Unlike female boxing in the USA and particularly in Germany, one lady has made it big business over the years and inspired a generation of female fighters in the country. Regina Halmich a flyweight version of Muhammed Ali’s daughter Laila and IBF world champion was involved in her final contest last November and the audience watching on TV peaked at 10.2 million, a record for women’s boxing and an amazing 38.3 per cent share of the nation’s viewership. more... |
 | Boxing28.03.2008 - However, the ‘Brown Bomber’ as he was nicknamed was no mere slugger, as his boxing was of a high order. His economy of movement was a lesson to all, he didn’t parry a punch where a slight turn of his head would do as well, nor did he throw a punch when there was no opening. As a boxing scientist he ranked pretty high, as a hard hitter, very high. Few champions have had such a swift, and some say such an easy climb to the top, but it in no way detracts from the reputation of this remarkable fighter to say that he was fortunate to flourish at such a time. I’m certain he would have reached the top in any age but he probably would have had to work harder if the likes of Muhammed Ali had been around during his career.

 | Boxing16.03.2008 - Although boxing can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, there was a long gap in its history and the sport as we know it today has rules that were cultured and sculpted by an English aristocrat, the Marquess of Queensberry, by the end of the 19th century.

 | Boxing05.02.2008 - A few years ago the BBC World Service ran a sports series entitled Judge and Jury, with a team of experts arguing who was the greatest performer in their field. For boxing it was a toss up between the great Muhammad Ali and the former welterweight and five times middleweight champion ‘Sugar’ Ray Robinson.

 | Boxing20.01.2008 - No other sport can quite match boxing for its uncertainty, its drama, and ability to survive over two thousand years of man-to-man contact and still remain an attraction in a world which is forever changing its tastes.
At the start of last year, boxing appeared to be under threat from other combat sports, but that argument has practically died a death and the boxing trade continues to defy the abolitionists and the cynics who say the sport is steadily conning itself to death. The year 2007 was a fantastic one for British boxing it has been years since we packed such a punch around the world. In fact, of the seven weight divisions between light welterweight and cruiserweight we currently hold nine major world championship belts.

 | Boxing22.12.2007 - In the entire sport of boxing in the old days there was no sadder figure than the lowly sparring partner. As they were never good enough to become a named fighter in their own right, the professional sparring partner would wander from training camp to training camp serving as a human punching bag. He would absorb a brutal beating day after day, all for a few shillings.
