Former world light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, 45-2 (32), could make a return to the ring as early as the start of next year if current negotiations with Juan Manuel Marquez, 50-5-1 (37), prove successful.
After his recent two round loss to Manny Pacquiao, many thought Hatton's last bout was behind him, but after a guest spot as a host on a WWE show in Sheffield, Hatton said he was eager to get back in the ring in front of the fans again.
Juan Manual Marquez last fought against Floyd Mayweather Jr, and lost a one sided decision, although it should be mentioned that he moved up two weight classes for the fight.
Hatton would enjoy a similar size advantage, and despite his recent losses, would probably be the favourite going in.
Promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy went on record to say that the fight would probably take place in Manchester, and would be contested at 140lbs. More...

There was some great undercard action on Friday night at the Harvey Hadden Sports Complex, Nottingham.
Dale Miles (Alfreton) v Janis Chernouskis (Latvia)
6 Round Welterweight Contest
Miles gets off to a fast start and Chernouskis spends much of his time covering up. Within seconds – the Latvian's face has already reddened from the punches. It’s a nice display of boxing from the Shinfield's fighter who pressures his opponent in the corner mid-way through this first round.
Landing left and right hooks and decent body-shots, Miles dominates. Sky Sports Stats reveal that Miles has thrown 33 punches in the opener as opposed to 6 from Chernouskis. More...

American contender Andre Ward outboxed reigning WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler last night at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA, winning the Showtime's Super Six tournament bout.
Kessler came forward early but couldn't find the target as Ward used excellent footwork to stay out of range while punishing the Dane with lightning quick left hooks and right hands.
Ward started to mix in the jab as Kessler got closer in the third but the fourth and fifth frames saw both men forced to shake off hard punches from the opponent. More...

There was a massive show at Sparkassen Arena in Kiel last night with three world title belts at risk.
The big winner was Zsolt Erdei who moved up a weight class to unseat reigning WBC cruiser champion Giacobbe Fragomeni by majority decision.
Hungarian Erdei had held the WBO light heavy belt for 11 successful defenses over five years but saw 40 year old Fragomeni as vulnerable despite the 25 pound weight differential.
Italy's Fragomeni won the WBO crown during a technical decision over Rudolf Kraj last year but was held to a draw by ex-IBF titlist Krzysztof Wlodarczyk in May in which iron-chinned Fragomeni was floored, a rare occurrence. More...

Last night at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario, Marvin Sonsona and Alejandro Hernandez fought to a draw over the vacant WBO super flyweight title.
Filipino southpaw Sonsona had won the belt from Jose Lopez in September but lost it on the scales Friday when he was 2.5 pounds over the super fly weight limit.
Mexico City based Hernandez came into the clash with the experience of having faced perhaps Argentina's top fighter, undefeated WBO flyweight champion Omar Andres Narvaez, in a big hearted but failed title bid.
The seasoned Hernandez fought Sonsona, just 19 years of age, to a standstill over the course of 12 difficult rounds and forced a 115-113, 113-115 and 114-114 draw. More...

It was a big Saturday night in The Land of Silver with two good fight cards, one of which featured a world title bout.
That took place at Club Deportivo Libertad in Sunchales as one of the top light welters on the planet, Marcos Rene Maidana, was on his trademark brutal form.
The 26 year old retained his Interim WBA crown with a crushing rub-out of experienced Panamanian William Gonzalez, 22-6-1 (7), at 2:20 of the third round.
Maidana improves to 27-1 (26) and could meet the winner of the upcoming Amir Khan vs. Dmitriy Salita WBA title clash next month.
There was another devastating KO on the undercard as big punching lightweight Daniel Alberto Dorrego, 28-2 (20), gunned down previously undefeated Daniel Eduardo Brizuela, 17-1-1 (6), in the very first round. More...

Last night the Harvey Hadden Sports Complex in Nottingham, England, promoter Frank Maloney hosted a fight night headlined by 'Boxing Binman' Rendall Munroe’s fifth defence of his European Super Bantamweight title.
Facing Italy's Simone ‘Boom Boom’ Maludrottu, this could be Munroe's toughest test, but winning this contest may propel him to a much deserved world title fight.
The atmosphere inside the venue was fantastic! Munroe always enjoys big crowd support and last night was no exception as a sea of fluorescent ‘bin-man-style’ tabards greeted him as he entered the ring. More...

The first stage of the exciting Super Six Super Middleweight tournament concludes tonight when the recognised number 1 in the division, Mikkel Kessler, meets Olympic Gold Medalist Andre Ward for the WBA title in Oakland, California.
For the Dane Kesslerm it's his second spell as a World Champion. After unifying the WBA/WBC titles with a swift victory against Markus Beyer in 2006, Kessler gave Joe Calzaghe arguably his toughest test en route to losing a competitive 12 round points decision in Cardiff in November, 2007.
This is still his only defeat in 43 fights.
Kessler is strong and tough. A solid super middleweight with proven pedigree. More...

Yesterday at the Gateway Hotel in Nottingham, England, promoter Frank Maloney hosted the official weigh-in ahead of tonight's European super bantamweight title clash between reigning champion Rendall Munroe and former European bantam titlist and WBC world title challenger Simone Maludrottu.
Proceedings went smoothly and quickly. The two men quietly took turns weighing in and both posed for the obligatory ‘face-off’ photographs. As you would expect from these two boxers - there was no goading or verbal onslaught from either man.
Munroe looked in fantastic shape and was calm and relaxed throughout.
Weights were as follows:
European super bantamweight championship, 12 rounds
Rendall Munroe: 8 stone 10 pounds/122 lb
Simone Maludrottu: 8 stone 9 and a quarter pounds/121.25 lb More...

Impact ABC trainer Andy Sedgmore has hailed the performance of Liam Berrisford after he was crowned National Junior Novice School Boy Champion in Liverpool.
The 15 year old from Meir Park took the title after a points victory over Stevenage ABC's Levi Raymond in the 57-60 kilo category.
“The dedication Liam has put in has been rewarded, and the whole gym is buzzing at the point. Raymond was a very tricky customer who was a natural switch-hitter, but the way Liam changed his tactics and coped with him was exceptional,” he said.
Sedgmore has also refused to rule out competing for a spot in the 2012 Olympics, saying, “Never say never, I think we went into the competition looking to get beyond the Midlands level, and then see where we went from there.”
Berrisford, who had only had three bouts before the competition, decided to keep on boxing when some of his friends stopped, and is delighted to reap the rewards. More...
