Thanks guys [Mike, Romy, and Tommy]. I'm going to get this up and running again. I've had a hectic few months. Here's a quick recap of what's going on, as much for my own benefit as other peoples.
Heavyweights: World champ Larry Holmes defends against fellow Pennsylvanian Tim Witherspoon over fifteen rounds in August. Meanwhile, in July, Evander Holyfield puts his North American and United States straps on the line against James 'Bonecrusher' Smith.
However, the fight everyone is looking forward to is the upcoming bout between punchers Mike Tyson and George Foreman. This one's been optimistically scheduled for ten. It's unlikely to last that long.
Light-Heavyweights: The elimination tournament is now into the second round [eight fighters], which are being fought this month.
Middleweights: Two-time world champ Marvin Hagler defends against NewYork - Italian tough guy Vito Antuofermo in September, scheduled for fifteen.
In August, Bernard Hopkins will defend his North American and United States titles against Mark Medal, on the undercard of Holmes v Witherspoon.
Welterweights: Don Curry squares of against Antonio Cervantes in a semi-final re-match next month [August]. The winner will meet Sugar Ray Leonard over fifteen rounds in December for the vacant world title.
Lightweight: Roberto Duran defends his world crown over fifteen against United States champ Harry Arroyo in September. Duran is heavily favoured to win.
In August, Bazooka Limon and Jose Luis Ramirez meet over twelve for the inaugral Mexican strap.
