AMIR KHAN steps up to six rounds
when he takes on Vitali Martynov of
Belarus next weekend in Nottingham.
ITVl screen it live at 10.45pm but
not the official main event of Michael
Jennings v Young Mutley for the
British welterweight title.
That goes out earlier on low-key
ITV4.
Martynov is tall with an excellentlooking
10-1 (7) record, but his one
defeat is a second-round stoppage by
France's Willy Blain.
Blain is talented but a non-puncher.
That is also Martynov's only fight
outside Belarus.
And Martynov weighed just 21bs off
super-feather in his most recent outing
(last month). Khan has come in just 31bs
off light-welter in his last two fights.
One supposes it could be called it
good matchmaking by Dean Powell.

HEAVYWEIGHT David Tua has won
one of the most important fights of his
career - in court.
The New Zealand High Court in
Wellington ruled on Monday that Tua
was entitled to sack his managers Kevin
Barry and Martin Pugh after the trio fell
out.
The managers claimed Tua was not
legally entitled to do this, so the hardpunching
Kiwi took them to court.
The judge ruled that as of October
10, 2003 Tua was his own manager.
"It's a great day in my life," said
Tua. "It's been two and a half years
[of uncertainty]. I'm blessed that this
has happened at a time when I've got a
good three to five years to really go for
it [the boxing]."
Legal costs have still to be determined
and several financial issues need to be
resolved.
Tua's next fight is set for late
February, no opponent named.

SAMUEL MONTAGU took three
boxers to Margate's Winter Gardens
on October 10. All were in 4 x 2s
against Kent boxers.
"Johnny Chambers met Scott
Woolford," remembered Mick
Gregory. "It was a cracking, hard
bout. Johnny weighed 65.2 kilos,
Scott 67."
Woolford won on points.
A virus would then keep Chambers
out of the Divs. "It left him weak - he
couldn't box twice in a night."
Also in Margate, Grant Phillips
lost unanimously to Vinny Woolford
at welterweight.
