I thought this was boxing, not wrestling. Are beer bottles now made from sugar glass?

Looks like boxing has a "fixing" problem to deal with

How can deliberately extending a fight to allow friends and family to benefit from betting not be "illegal".

Bloody hell that brawl was ridiculous.

Looked like the whole thing was staged to me. 

Haye now to apply for his licence - take a short ban - fight Chisora, then on to Klitschko

Dunno, but Ali predicted rounds for years. Is this only the same thing really.

There's a difference between predicting and fixing.

In the latest interview, Froch appeared to openly admit that he prolonged fights so that people he knew could gain financially.

Good performance from Nathan Cleverly. Not spectacular but he easily outclassed his opponent.

He should have had this bloke out in three rounds. He hasn't fought for over a year.
