Chisora could be back in action this summer for a possible bout with contender Tomasz Adamek. If that comes off, it promises to be a good action fight.

Chris Arreola strives for redemption:

Tua unfit = an easy Barrett win, unless he lets his hand go in the first 2 rds

[doneit]

needs more fights before title shot & defence needs a lot of work to protect a chin thats not the best

[Weltschmerz]

I wrote to Steve Cunningham following the 'knockout' 'loss'.

Here was his response.

What a cry baby... This guy cannot take his defeats like a man. He lost, end of story.

Okay whatever you say, mister keyboard warrior.

Wladimir Klitschko said he was surprised by David Price's loss to Tony Thompson, says it reminds him of his loss to Ross Purrity and that Price will bounce back and have a good career like he has.

tweet from Sauerland:

No this is not a joke....a Russian Promoter just bid $23,000,000 for Povetkin v Klitschko #happydays

[molinari]

and then BAM, Povetkin loses to Wawrzyk.

[White_Knight]

heavyweight news:

Povetkin-Klitschko will be in Moscow on August 31, not Las Vegas or Germany.

Denis Boytsov is in discussions with David Haye for the June 29th fight.

Joe Hanks-Andy Ruiz is likely on for July.


(I'll post links to more detailed reports later)

Those sound like some good fights. It's a big step up for Boytsov.

[The Hammer]

Alexander Povetkin's manager Vladimir Hrunov says Klitschko-Povetkin will be in Moscow on August 31.

Kubrat Pulev was not impressed with Tyson Fury.

"Fury I was not impressed. Steve Cunningham is not heavyweight. Fury tortured him for his strength, but I noticed he had serious problems in defense, and it can cost you a lot in boxing. If Fury will keep his word, the next fight he should meet with me - then we'll see which of us is stronger, "- said Pulev.

Fury to cut out mistakes for Pulev:
