KOSTYA Tszyu is elated at being chosen for the International Boxing Hall of Fame along with Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez and screen idol Sylvester Stallone. The coveted recognition comes just five years after Tszyu's last fight - despite his on-going reluctance to confirm retirement - and is rewar...

Mundine played for St George and Brisbane. Wood played for Balmain and South Sydney. Brisbane is unpopular with Sydney teams and Souths and Balmain (niow part of Wests Tigers) have always been mortal enemies of St George. There will be no love lost. Some little birdy told me they were close friends...

Cronje will fight Oscar Siale

Mauler, The fight is over 10 rounds according to the boxrec schedule. There is also no mention of it being for any title whatsoever. I suppose the fight sells itself (to the Aussie audience anyway) and thus there is no need for it to be for any title. Sorry Belta, what i meant was i didn't think yo...

Ive got my ringside tix sorted for next Sunday

Word on the street is Cronje's new opponent is Oscar Siale.......... stay tuned DD

lightenup Buster :DDD The heart muscle joke was some of my best work :TU: The fact is Haumono is again at the crossroads in his career and retiring for a second time is a serious possibility........... i'm not convinced however, but in this game you need to be 100% committed or else things can go pe...

When he pulled out of the Cronje fight word was he had torn a heart muscle and was back on the couch contemplating retirement DD

ain't that the truth

Brett Smith has pulled out of the fight with Cronje

It seems Cronje's opponents have had a habit of late of pulling out of fights with him....
