As major leaguers gear up towards the forthcoming beginning of baseball season, the same form of anticipation exudes from our championship boxers, with the coming months seeing a tremendous amount of action from the beltholders.
We here at BoxingScene.com love to keep you, our faithful readers, constantly entertained and updated, and so this month, we preview our new feature, the Championship Calendar.
At the beginning of every month, BoxingScene.com will be bringing you a ledger full of all the coming bouts featuring the reigning titlists, as well as keeping you in the loop about what has gone on in any of the pugilists’ recent matches in the time prior. To keep things simple, we will deal with only the four major sanctioning bodies, and only the true belts (none of the International or Continental Americas tripe).
But since boxing is an unpredictable industry, you can also look forward to quasi-weekly articles listing any corrections or changes.
Please keep your eyes peeled at the beginning of each month for your Championship Calendar, and corrective updates will be posted as necessary each Saturday morning.
Finally, if you notice any mistakes, please feel free to send feedback to boxingscene@hotmail.com, with “Championship Calendar” in the title line.
HEAVYWEIGHTS
Vitali Klitschko, the WBC champion, had been scheduled to defend against Hasim Rahman on April 30 from Madison Square Garden, but has recently pulled a muscle, delaying the fight. In his last outing, Klitschko used Danny Williams as a human punching bag en route to an eighth-round TKO.
Lamon Brewster (WBO) will be meeting Andrew Golota on May 21 at the United Center in Chicago. Brewster retained his belt with an uninspired, disputed split decision over Kali Meehan last September. [details]
