Friday 5 April 2002

In Mexico, the news that their Olympic gold medallists Vicente Saldivar (Bantamweight) and Salvador Sanchez (Featherweight) will both be competing in the IBL's Featherweight division was enough to cause joyous, near riotous scenes in several Mexican cities. When Sanchez and Saldivar clash in the ring - something that will certainly happen during the IBL's regional World Championship qualifiers - it could turn pretty ugly.
