Boxing: Fights coming up

Sad to hear of the passing of former middleweight world champion Alan Minter.

Minter became an household name in 1972 when winning a bronze medal at the Munich Olympics, which were made famous by American swimmer Mark Spitz’s 7 golds.

Minter went on to become World Middleweight Champion, but his reign was brief after being destroyed by “Marvellous” Marvin Hagler in only his second defence in 1980.

Maybe not the most talented British boxing champ, but a dedicated pro who made the most of his attributes.

Another sporting hero from my youth, who is sadly no longer with us.

Just looking through the card for tomorrow's opening day of the Cambridgeshire meeting at Newmarket and noticed a familiar name running in the 3.35. MILDENBERGER! 

To the more longstanding fight fan, Karl will be remembered as one of very few German heavyweights to grace the ring. 

A rustic fighter who held the European Heavyweight title in the 60's who allegedly hurt Ali in their World title fight. 

Think I'll have a tenner on it, even if just for old times sake!

I'd go with Joe too, just. But we've seen Calzaghe get in trouble in a couple of fights, and Froch was superb at getting people out of there when he got them hurt. I wouldn't say it was any more than 60/40 in Calzaghe's favour. Calzaghe wasn't much of a puncher at all, although his volume was outstanding. But Froch would know he can just continue to come forward and walk through anything Joe throws at him, and I believe at some point he would get to Calzaghe. Joe was tough though, and I could see him surviving a couple of hairy moments and winning on points.

Froch had a much better resume it's worth mentioning too, even if he wasn't the better fighter.

Dubois and Joyce date announced for November. third time lucky hopefully 

Some big Heavyweight fights coming up

Usyk - Chisora October 

Whyte - Povetkin II November 

Dubois- Joyce November 

There's rumours about Joshua fighting Pulev in December. Will be interesting to see if Fury Wilder III happens this year or they wait till next year and give both fighters a warm up fight in the mean time
