Boxing News Magazine 2011 Memorabilia

FOR the first time in a very long while it seems that potentially
great match-ups are finally being announced. While there's no
doubt that the fight all fans want to see is Floyd Mayweather
Jnr-Manny Pacquiao - which is yet to be made and probably
never will be - we have to be grateful that the likes of David
Haye-Wladimir Klitschko and James DeGale-George Groves
are finally being signed and boxers really want to see who
is the best in the division, domestically and internationally.
With a possible Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarita rematch and
Timothy Bradley-Amir Khan fight being made in 2011, we
could finally have some pick 'em fights to look forward to.

GERMAN female boxer Rola
El-Halabi's career could be over
after she was shot by her stepfather
and former manager before a title
fight on Friday (April 1).
The 11-0, 25-year-old was
preparing to fight Irma Balijagic
Adler of Bosnia for the vacant IBF
lightweight title, when she was
shot her in the hand, knee and foot,
as well as shooting two security
guards

BAD news on the fiscal front for
Floyd Mayweather could mean
good news for boxing fans. "Money"
owes $3.4m of income tax from
2009 and when was last faced with
such a large bill - the $6,17m from
the 2007 tax year - he fought juan
Manuel Marquez, in part to pay off
the IRS. Mayweather has fought just
once since.

GIL CLANCY spent a lifetime in boxing,
around great fighters, but it might be said
his life's work was one man: Emile Griffith.
Clancy coached, advised and nurtured
Griffith, from his first steps in an amateur
ring in 1957 to both the world welterweight
and world middleweight titles over the
next decade. And when the time came for
Griffith to retire in 1977, it was Clancy who
told him to his face. He had been there at
the start, and was there at the end.
