June 25th 2008 02:18

Jeff Fenech has finally defeated the man he claims inflicted the two worst results of his decorated career last night, with a 10 round majority decision win against Ghana's Azumah Nelson at Vodaphone Arena, Melbourne.

In what many expected to be an overrated scrap between two late forty year olds, the former world champions proved to the world that even after 15 years of retirement and aged 44 and 49 respectively, both still have the skill, ability and hunger to showcase an entertaining fight

Controversial boxer Anthony Mundine has vowed to relinquish his world super middleweight title after his bout with Sam Soliman in an attempt to become a champion in three separate weight divisions.

DANNY'S DEPARTURE KO'S BOXING

March 27th 2008 04:18

The sudden retirement of Australian Light Heavywieght World Champion Danny Green has shocked the boxing world and the Australian public in recent days.
Although Green departs the public domain having left his mark with many vivid memories throughout his career, he has also left millions of people asking why?
For the home grown Perth boy the answer is simple - There is life after boxing. His decision to walk away from the sport he loves was tough, he was a lover of the sport and a loved figure by many. It was made even tougher by the attractive and lucritave offer (around the $1 million mark) for the much anticipated rematch against colourful rival Anthny Mundine and a proposed battle aginst Roy Jones Jnr
