GL: April 30, June 18, July 23, November 12 and now who knows? How do you feel about the fourth postponement of this fight? "As I told you, I knew Colonel Sanders was going to quit before ten rounds. I just thought he make it to the ring before he decided to bow out. I think it has to be obvious to all of the Klitschko fans that their guy doesn't want to fight me.

It’s been a hard few months for IBF Jr welterweight king Ricky Hatton. After winning the belt from all-time great Kostya Tszyu, there was a split with promoter Frank Warren that turned sour.

With Warren’s threat of an injunction now taken back, Ricky is read more ...

Roy Jones Jr: "I'm good. You see I don't really take that as a set-back. With me being as dominant as I was, they weren't going to let me take no tune up fight no way.

Antonio Tarver: "Just like it's done for everyone else. Look at the risk I would be taking though, a light heavyweight coming up to face someone as dangerous as Mike?

When we spoke in your dressing room after the fight, you said you've never seen Monte fight that way. Do you feel he's the reason it was a boring fight? Hasim Rahman: "I've never seen him move so much. I knew he wasn't winning the fight and I knew he wasn't making the fight.
