THERE has been no official
announcement yet as to where
RICKY HATTON will challenge
FLOYD MAYWEATHER.
It will take place on December 8
according to HBO. But the MGM
Grand, Las Vegas is booked for the
Spice Girls and the Thomas and
Mack Arena, the only other venue
suitable for the amount of fans
Hatton is going to bring with him, is
also unavailable that night because
of the national rodeo finals.
Which leaves the possibility of
going to the Mandalay Bay, which is
smaller (12,000 capacity).
There has been talk of the
Staples Center in Los Angeles, but
the Los Angeles Kings ice hockey
team have a game there that night.
Golden Boy Promotions were
unavailable for comment.

OSCAR DE LA H0YA has said he
wants to fight twice next year, in
May and September, at welter.
He won't fight again this year,
meaning by the time he boxes in
2008 it will have been 12 months
since the points defeat by Floyd
Mayweather.
Given the Mayweather match
followed a 12-month break, it
hardly seems likely De La Hoya,
now 34, is going to improve.

CARLOS HERNANDEZ, the veteran
farmer world light-welterweight
champion, is reportedly in serious
condition in hospital after being hit
by a car.
The 67-year-old, the first world
champion from Venezuela, reigned
from 1965-66.
He had a 73-fight career (57
wins, 12 losses and four draws)
that ended with a points defeat by
then-world lightweight champion
Ken Buchanan in London in 1971.
Hernandez also fought other
top class men like Nicolino Loche,
Ismael Laguna, Eddie Perkins, Jose
Napoles and Kenny Lane.

JACKSON WILLIAMS, the Norwich
light-welter and former Amir Khan
victim, is now halfway through his
amazing run across America.
Williams has completed 1,545
miles, averaging around 40 miles
each day. He stopped in Las Vegas
in June to take in the Ricky Hatton-
Jose Luis Castillo fight, but plans
to finish in New York.
"It's been very tough," he told
us by email. "But I'll finish as I'm a
fighter and have a big heart."

MICHAEL MAGUIRE deserves all the
superlatives after his performance at
the European Junior Championships
in Sombor, Serbia from July 8-14.
His gold medal at bantamweight
was the first by an English boxer at
this event since Errol Christie
(middleweight) in 1982.
But it got better than that for the
18-year-old who lives in Peterborough
and boxes for the Kettering School of
Boxing.
