This past weekend saw one of the biggest boxing events to be staged in Britain since such high profile occasions such as the Lewis -Bruno, Lewis - Ruddock, Benn - McClellan or McGuigan - Pedroza fights. The Hatton - Tszyu card had been the fastest selling fight on record in Britain, with all 22,000 tickets going in just 2 hours. Last week I'd visited both the Hatton gymnasium and Tszyu's camp at the Arena in Bolton. The different approach of how these fighters prepare for fights and relate to the media was similar to the contrast of doing your shopping in the corner shop or driving to London's West End and browsing at Harrods.
