BRAZILIAN police have questioned the wife of a former world boxing champion, Arturo Gatti, after he was found dead in a hotel in north-eastern Brazil.

Canadian boxer Arturo Gatti has been found dead in a hotel room in Brazil at the age of 37, according to reports.

JOE CALZAGHE is ready to shine in the neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip in the early hours of tomorrow morning and score a victory which will elevate him to a pantheon inhabited by some of the very best to have laced on gloves.

RICKY HATTON will make light of losing out on a projected super-fight against Arturo Gatti and head straight back across the Atlantic for his next contest on December 9.

RICKY HATTON edged closer to a dream showdown with Floyd Mayweather yesterday when his promoter, Frank Warren, confirmed that television commitments were no obstacle to the fight being made.

Ricky Hatton remains on course to challenge Kostya Tszyu for the world light-welterweight title early next year.
