Amateur boxing on the BBC


The BBC will bring you live action from the ABA boxing finals at Bethnal Green's famous York Hall venue.

The event is a complete sell out and our cameras will be there for an evening of top-class boxing.

With the Beijing Olympics just around the corner, it's certainly a big year for amatuer boxing - will there be a potential Amir Khan or Audley Harrison among the fighters at the ABA finals?

Ronald McIntosh presents the action, with Jim Neilly and Richie Woodhall commentating.

He said he aint losing to no eastern european, white boy

Rowing is brilliant mainly because Redgrave and co handed out ownage to the Italians and other piss poor nations who thought they could hang with Britain

I presume Haye's "big announcement" is that he has signed for Golden Boy Promotions. That or he's engaged to a swan, one of the two.

Really i hadn't heard that (about golden boy, oviously the swan news is common knowledge now)
It's been doin my brains in all day, that's dissapointing really I was hoping he was gonna be doing something cool like giving up boxing to become a buddhist monk, or a cab driver.

Haye held talks with Golden Boy a few weeks back and there was quite a bit of speculation about it, but it might not be that; this is David Haye remember, no one knows whats going on in his head so the Buddist monk idea cannot be ruled out.

I thought the cabbie one was a good idea for him.
Oh i didn't know that, well good luck to him i suppose, can't say i'm that fussed about him really, great cruiser but i'm not sure he's gonna be as good a heayweight as he makes out he is.
Calling Wlad out like that was a bit, stupid, like he's gonna fight Haye like that, lol
