IT IS A SAD REALITY BUT THE CLASH BETWEEN BRITISH BOXING BOARD OF CONTROL FRANK WARREN PROMOTIONS HAVE REACHED A STATE WHERE IF IT IS ALLOWED TO GO ON THERE WILL BE NO TURNING BACK AND THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE SERIOUS CASUALTY. IT IS EQUALLY AS SAD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HAD MORE WISER COUNSEL PREVAILED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DERECK CHISORA MATTER IT COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDED
IT IS POSSIBLE THE POINT OF NO RETURN HAS ALREADY BEEN REACHED.
PROFESSIONAL BOXING - AN EXAMINATION OF THE PROCESS GERMAN BBD COMMISSION AND BBBofC USED TO DEAL WITH THE UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR OF DERECK CHISORA AND DAVID HAYE.
As flood warning notices are posted around rural areas in England, tidal waves of man made problems are threatening to submerge boxing and unless changes are made a Tsunami tidal wave threatens to engulf the ancient sport of boxing that is today a business/sport like almost all other popular sports.

WHEN BOXING ACTION FORECAST THE FIGHT BETWEEN DERECK CHISORA AND DAVID HAYE WOULD BE MADE IT WAS RECEIVED WITH SILENCE. WE HAD NO DOUBT THERE WOULD BE AN AMPLE NUMBER OF BOXING FEDERATIONS AROUND THE WORLD THAT WOULD NOT HESITATE TO LICENCE THE FIGHT AND THE DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG HAS STEPPED INTO FILL THE BREACH.

WHEN CHANNEL 5 DESCRIBED BOXING GURU LARRY MERCHANT AS ‘THE VOICE OF BOXING’ THE 12 YEAR OLD VOICE OF BOXING, BOXINGACTION.COM PULLED NO PUNCHES AND WE DESCRIBED IT AS A ‘RIP-OFF.’ LAST NIGHT BOXING FANS ACROSS THE UK WERE TREATED TO MORE BOXING ON CHANNEL 5 AND LARRY MERCHANT.
HOWEVER, THIS TIME LARRY WAS RETITLED THE ‘AMERICAN VOICE OF BOXING.’ THERE IS NO QUESTION 74-YEAR-OLD MR. MERCHANT IS A LEGENDARY BOXING BROADCASTER AND WHILE WE HAVE LEGAL EAGLES WITH VERY SHARP TALONS, IT WOULD BE POMPOUS OF BOXING ACTION NOT TO WANT TO SHARE OUR CATCHPHRASE, WITH THE ‘AMERICAN’ ADJUSTMENT IN PLACE, WITH THE ICONIC BOXING COMMENTATOR LARRY MERCHANT.

INTERNATIONAL IBA/WSB HAS BEEN GRANTED THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT BY IOC TO PROMOTE PROFESSIONAL BOXERS AND BOXING AND ONLY THEIR REGISTERED BOXERS ARE ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES. THIS COULD BE DEEMED TO BE A RESTRAINT OF TRADE AND/OR A MONOPOLY. PROFESSIONAL BOXING FOR MANY BOXERS AND PROMOTERS IS A TRADE. IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD A RESTRAINT OF TRADE AND/OR MONOPOLY IS UNLAWFUL. IN GB AND USA THIS IS A SERIOUS OFFENCE AND THERE ARE PRECEDENTS WHERE INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES GUILTY OF THIS OFFENCE HAVE BEEN FINED IN GB £10 MILLION.
The sensational news that WBA and IBF light-welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (Washington) has failed a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association drug test has hit boxing hard and Team Amir Khan has taken the precaution of possibly having to call-off the proposed return championship match with Lamont Peterson.
