Boxing: Magee can make Callahan's day

Eamonn Magee will be aiming to aid manager Mike Callahan’s recovery when he defends his Commonwealth light-welterweight title in Manchester this weekend.

As Magee enters the ring at the MEN Arena to defend against Norwich’s Jon Thaxton, manager Callahan will be lying in the Royal Victoria Hospital waiting on a call to see if his charge has remained on course for a clash with WBU light-welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, who tops the same bill on Saturday night.
