Vitali Klitschko defended his WBC heavyweight championship with a first-round knockout of Odlanier Solis in Cologne last night.

DAVID HAYE fully expects Wladimir Klitschko to be fit enough to fight him this summer.

HARRY DUIVEN Junior, a heavyweight from Amsterdam, plans to succeed where others have failed by putting an end to the unblemished record of Mike “The Rebel” Perez at the dinner-show at the Silversprings Moran Hotel in Cork tonight.
