On a completely unrelated note, am I the only one who routinely gets Australian tourism ads before watching videos on the BBC website? Bad marketing if they're only getting people who already live here ;)

Kell Brook v Matthew Hatton tonight should be a cracking fight. Hopefully Brook will win!

I just don't like the way it's run. I can see how it is a good sport, but when you have so many different competitions and belts, seems like every boxer out there is a world champion of some description. Added to which the fake or overly-dramatic pre-match press conferences and weigh-ins are laughable.

Thats just 2 boxers and one incident in a long history of boxing mishaps. I like boxing at the olympics no bollocks, more care to the health and safety of the competitors. No corruption, just 2 guys boxing which is how it should be!!

I love the banter before a fight so long as it doesn't get out of hand like the two examples i gave before.

The Brook v Hatton fight and Macklin v Martinez fight were great fights last night.

As for World Champions, there are the 4 major governing bodies, own one of them and you're one of the best in your weight. Below them is European belts and British belts
