A lot can happen in a year - just think back to May 2010 when Kevin Mitchell cut a deflated figure at West Ham's Upton Park ground following a crushing defeat to Michael Katsidis.

Fast forward to last Saturday night when the Dagenham Destroyer amazingly turned it all around with a stunning win over John Murray and crashed back into the ratings and big fights.

Congratulations to Carl Froch who powered his way through to earn himself a place in the Super Six Final, with a good win over Glen Johnson. He will now face Andre Ward in the final.

Amir Khan's WBA light-welterweight title defence against Paul McCloskey ended in farce last weekend - inside the ring at least.

Khan retained his title after McCloskey was cut, that required seven stitches, in the sixth round.

Amir Khan's preparations for tonight's fight could not have been any worse this week, with the distractions going on behind the scenes with his finances and the broadcasting of his fight.

British boxing is on a high and is packed with talent at the moment - and you can add Frankie Gavin to our roster of potential world champions.

He was in great form last weekend when he stopped Michael Lomax in the seventh round.

Nathan Cleverly gets his big chance on April 2 when he fights WBO light-heavyweight champion Jurgen Braehmer at Wembley Arena. It's a fantastic fight for the Welshman and could be a career defining moment.

Not so long ago, the meeting of two unbeaten American world champions would have been a huge event.

But last weekend's clash between Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley didn't make much of an impact on the live gate. Less than 4,000 tickets were sold for their fight in Michigan.

There has been a big development in America this week, one that slipped under the radar over here and one that could have huge ramifications throughout the boxing industry, Manny Pacquiao's move from US TV giant HBO to rival network Showtime.

David Haye has branded Wladimir Klitschko a "coward" after failing to agree terms with the WBO/IBF world champion.  According to Haye and his manager Adam Booth, Klitschko was asking too much to make the fight happen.

British boxing got yet another lift last week and got it in style both sides of the pond with lion hearted performances.

First, my youngsters led the charge with some stunning performances in Liverpool and then Amir Khan capped off a superb night when he came out on top in one of the fights of the year against the dangerous Marcos Maidana. The fight took place in Las Vegas - and would have impressed watching American audiences.

In his latest column, Frank Warren looked ahead to Ricky Burns' clash with Andreas Evensen, and dissected Carl Froch's victory over Arthur Abraham.

WBO super-featherweight champion Ricky Burns faces a big test in Scotland this evening against Andreas Evensen and he needs to win to keep British boxing on a high.

Boxing hit a low and high in one night last Saturday.

The low - billed as the domestic fight of the year, but David Hayes WBA heavyweight title fight against Audley Harrison was a joke.

Vitali Klitschko scored a comprehensive win over a brave but out-classed Shannon Briggs last weekend.

Sometimes in boxing you have to be bold and roll the dice and take a calculated risk or two.

Ricky Burns started the season off in style on 4th September and we had a really cracking show last Saturday - the perfect way to start the new boxing season.

 

Congratulations to Ricky Burns, who kicked off the new season in style last weekend in Glasgow.

David Haye has sworn blind recently that he would not fight Audley Harrison.

The divisions run hot and cold in boxing.

What does it take to make a boxing superstar?  

It's rapidly turning into the biggest will they won't saga in boxing.
