Amidst all of the doom and gloom regarding us British failing at various sports this year, people are forgetting that we are still doing terrificly well at boxing, one of the most popular sports on the planet.
The undisputed world champion of the super-middleweight division, Joe Calzaghe, recently joined the elite few boxers in history who have had world title belts in two different weight divisions at the same time.
We also have another undisputed world champion in David Haye, as well as several other world champions. It is about time our boxers got the recognition that they deserve.
Don't forget that we have also been to two World Cup finals in a row now in rugby union!
