Sheer Khan

Amir Khan will be the dessert on ITV's menu after Holland v Russia on Saturdy night. Here he is at the weigh in for his fight with Michael Gomez Weigh-In at the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham. Amir will be looking to take further populist steps to the establishment of his new world Khandom with those flashing hard hands and speed of foot.

Never mind the Hat, what about the trousers

Never mind the fist work, how's about that for a pair of trousers. Ricky Hatton on his way to a points decision at City of Manchester Stadium where he broke all UK records for attendance at a live boxing match attracting 55,000 fans. The luminescent light blue evocativly echoed the City colours too. As predicted, his opponent Mexican Juan Lazcano was tough, durable, brave and would not go over.

The light-welter division currently now has no fewer than five accredited champions
WBA – Andreas Kotelnik
WBC – Timothy Bradley
IBF – Paul Malignaggi
WBO – Ricardo Torres
IBO – Ricky Hatton

So it is an interesting scenario as to who will dare to take on whom next

Muscle man

Ricky Hatton at the weigh in for his comeback fight against Mexican Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester Stadium. The fight could break all UK box office records. Currently the most watched live boxing spectacle in Britain was Nigel Benn against Chris Eubank at Old Trafford in October 1993. Last year 35,000 saw Joe Calzaghe beat Peter Manfredo at the Millenium Stadium. The City of Manchester stadium cold possibly hold 55,000. Lazcano is a stayer having only been stopped once in four losses, so his chin may test the Hitman’s power, but at 32 the feeling is that he is passed his best…or maybe he isn’t?
