Khan in a hurry, Mitchell mature
This week's issue
LEADING the way this week is of course Claude Abrams' ringside report from Newcastle, featuring WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan's destruction of mandatory challenger Dmitriy Salita, Kevin Mitchell's intelligent performance to subdue dangerous Breidis Prescott, intriguing clashes for all three 'Olympians' – Frankie Gavin, James DeGale and Billy Joe Saunders – plus John Simpson-Steven Bell and Alex Arthur-Nigel Wright.
We also have ringside coverage from Sydney, where Danny Green may have ended the Roy Jones Jnr legend, Philadelphia, where Bernard Hopkins met Enrique Ornelas, London where the Prizefighter light-welterweights vied for the trophy and £32,000 prize and Dublin, where Matthew Macklin tuned up ahead of a European middleweight title defence in the new year.
The Big Preview is Vitali Klitschko's WBC heavyweight title defence against talented and confident (some would say arrogant) American Kevin Johnson. We also look ahead to Timothy Bradley-Lamont Peterson, Lee Haskins-Don Broadhurst and highly-anticipated rematches between Jean Pascal and Adrian Diaconu in Canada and Juan Diaz and Paulie Malignaggi in Chicago.
Our Big Feature is on veteran referee Dave Parris, our 60-Second Interview is with Juan Diaz and we have News exclusives from Carl Froch and trainer CJ Hussein on his split with John McDermott.
