While literary aficionados will be celebrating Bloomsday around the world today, middleweight Andy Lee (28-1, 20 KOs) will try to add his own chapter in the tome of Irish boxing history when he challenges Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (45-0-1, 31 KOs) for his WBC title in El Paso, Texas (4am, Sunday morning, Irish time).

AMIR KHAN is relishing his return to “the Mecca of boxing” when he takes on wily American veteran Zab Judah in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Amir Khan claims he has improved so much in the last two years his sparring sessions with the great Manny Pacquiao are "pretty even" - but insists he will never fight his friend for real.

The war of words between Amir Khan and Paulie Malignaggi developed into chaos at the weigh-in today ahead of their WBA light-welterweight title fight at Madison Square Garden.
