Ricky Hatton will get the chance to write his name into British boxing legend 21 years to the day since Barry McGuigan lost his world title in the searing heat of a Las Vegas car park.
Hatton's trainer Billy Graham believes his charge will rip the title of the greatest post-war British fighter away from McGuigan if he beats Jose Luis Castillo in their light-welterweight super-fight on the famous Strip on June 23.

 Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero is adapting well and soaking up the knowledge being taught to him at Freddie Roach's Wild Card gym as he prepares for his highly anticipated IBF championship fight against Spend Abazi in Denmark. This will be the first time "The Ghost" has had to battle off his native USA soil. "I'm excited about fighting overseas," said Guererro. "I know it's going to be tough to get a decision in his homeland, so my plans are to take him out."
Having been in camp with new trainer Freddie Roach the last three weeks, Robert mentioned, "I'm learning a lot with Freddie and the transition has been a blessing. Training at the Wild Card gym everyday is an incredible feeling; it's a championship environment and you can feel it in the air. I can't wait mix it up with Abazi." |

 “ I am very excited about this fight. This is my second time going for a title shot, and this time, I am hungrier than ever.” Rodney Jones
Light middleweight contender "Smooth" Rodney Jones has been waiting for a long time to get his second title shot. It was September of 2000 when Jones came up short against then - WBO champ Harry Simon, losing a majority decision.
In recent years, he feels as if he had been overlooked. Most recently he thought he would get a shot at then world champion Roman Karmazin, but Karmazin opted to fight Cory Spinks instead.
In spite of it all, Jones remained patient and will finally get his shot when he faces IBF Light Middleweight Champion Cory Spinks at the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida, on the undercard of the Showtime televised Adamek vs Dawson and Diaz vs Chavez double feature, this Saturday, February 3. |
