    Carl Froch is a few fights away from being given a harsh boxing lesson and the UK press all dislike Amir Khan (They are now all fully aware that he is a flush punch away from being KO'd)

    This leaves the UK with David Haye as the sole hope of maintaining mainstream interest in boxing in the country. If David Haye is easily beaten then we are left in a position whereby we have no talent whatsoever that can attract interest towards boxing in our own country.

    I pray to god that David Haye wins his fight and carries the torch for the UK boxing scene for the coming future, if he fails then we are left with nothing until Kell Brook hits the bigtime as none of our prospects have the potential to step upto the plate and become the next british megastar.

    This will no doubt affect boxing coverage in the country and as a boxing fan I do not want to see this happen.
    As long as Danny Williams is active, you have nothing to worry about.
