KEVIN KELLEY, still refusing to retire at 34, wants IBF
featherweight champion David Toledo, then another
veteran - No. 1 challenger Manuel Medina.
The Flushing Flash, for several years now a Las Vegas
resident admits he is on the slide and getting old. "I want
two or three more," said the right-handed southpaw. "I
know I can beat Toledo. I sparred him loads of times and
beat him up. Toledo can't hurt me.
"Then I can fight Medina, who bleeds so badly these
days I'd only have to catch him a few times. I get offers
to box all the time, but I want to pick who I fight At this
stage of my career that's how I've got to do it"
He added: "I'm not waiting for Naseem Hamed any
more If he wanted to fight me, he'd have done it by now."

THE autopsy on Beethavean Scottland, the Maryland
boxer who died from injuries on July 2 from a contest
in New York last month, revealed the cause as "blunt
impacts to the head with subdural hemorrhage".
The New York State Athletic Commission will
investigate his death, ruled accidental, the way in which
the tragedy was handled and recommend reforms.
Adrian Davis, who trained Scottland, said the boxer
was in excellent condition because he had been training
for three months for another fight
But there were questions being answered about the
weight difference between Scottland and his opponent,
George Jones. Scottland was a super-middle and Jones
a natural light-heavy.

IN FRONT of his biggest rival, WBU lightwelter
champion Ricky Hatton, Bradford
switch-hitter JUNIOR WITTER kept in trim
with a fifth-round knockout of Hartlepool
southpaw ALAN TEMPLE.
Afterwards, Witter and Hatton shared a Sky TV interview
to express their mutual desire to fight, sooner rather
than later. Judging the by the taunting the Yorkshireman
received from a group of Hatton fans, it will surely be an
explosive occasion.

MI C H A E L GRANT, following a
second-round mauling by former
world heavyweight champion Lennox
Lewis and now a stunning defeat in the first
against JAMEEL McCLINE in the chief
support to Mosley-Stone, needs lessons in
how to go down, not to fight.
Lewis floored him so heavily 15 months ago, Grant
required surgery on his knee. When McCline dropped
him with the first punch thrown, Michael twisted his right
ankle and was unable to continue.
