The WBC heavyweight championship between Vitali Klitschko and Dereck Chisora will take place in Munich on the 18th of February and it’s not hard to predict whom the boxing betting fans will be backing to win in this bout.

The unpredictable Dereck ‘Del Boy’ Chisora (17, 15W, 2L, KO’s 10), who lost his British and Commonwealth titles to Tyson Fury back in July last year, then followed that defeat up with another against Finnish boxer, Robert Helenius, for the vacant European heavyweight title, must have thought all his christmases had come at once when he was lined up to contest for the WBC heavyweight title against Vitali Klitschko (45, 43W, 2L, KO’s 40).

This weekend, (18th of December) in Atlantic City, we’ll finally get to see the rescheduled Super Six Super Middle Weight tournament final between American, Andre Ward (current WBA World Super Middleweight champion) and Britain’s, Carl Froch (reigning WBC Super Middleweight champion) it’s sure been a helluva wait, but I guess when it comes to one of the biggest ‘fights of the year‘, some things are just worth waiting for.

Most boxing betting fans will have watched with interest as the Super Six has taken shape over the past year and a half. The Super Six series was dreamed up by Showtime Sports in a bid to make boxing, once again, more attractive to a watching TV audience. Each of the 6 boxers signed up to the 168lb division agreed to fight any opponent – including each other – to determine who is the best at the Super Middle Weight division. Simply, put, it’s the best fighting the best – it’s what boxing fans crave!

Tyson Fury is back in action this weekend, not that long after his unanimous points decision to win the British Heavyweight title from Dereck Chisora back in late July. It’s a bit of a quick return to the ring for the British champ and the quality of his opponent has raised a few eyebrows.

With the fight taking place at the Kings Hall, Belfast it’s also to be televised live on Channel 5 this weekend and it offers Fury the chance once more to raise his profile in the UK. However, Tyson Fury vs Nicolai Firtha is barely going to create a lot of noise elsewhere outside these shores, if any at all.

A World Heavyweight title is disputed this weekend between current champion, Vitali Klitschko and Polish challenger, Tomasz Adamek. Although the fight is barely registering on the richter scale in the UK media, elsewhere, especially in Poland where the event is taking place, the magnitude of hype is building rapidly.

Around 40,000 fans will cram into the City Stadium in Wroclaw, Poland (a possible venue for England if they qualify for next year’s Euro 2012 Championships) to witness homegrown talent, Tomasz Adamek, try and break the elder of the Klitschko brothers (Vitali) grip on heavyweight boxing.

Amir Khan is looking to stretch his unbeaten run to eight fights when he takes on American, Zab Judah on July the 23rd. It’s an intruiging contest that sees both boxers fight for the WBA & IBF light welterweight titles. And despite the bookies having Khan as the pre-fight favourite, most boxing betting fans think this fight is a little more closer to call.

Khan has been in the press claiming that he is only three fights away from Boxing immortality. His impending fight against Judah, a unification bout against Timothy Bradley (WBO & WBC Champion) and finally a chance to fight Floyd Mayweather. It might seem like ‘pie in the sky’ talk to a lot of people including Judah and Bradley but ‘King Khan‘ believes this is his road to destiny. Of course there’s a lot of if’s and but’s in such a statement, especially when every boxing fan is shouting for Floyd Mayweather to fight Manny Pacquiao first and foremost.

Do believe the hype! This could, potentially, be a classic and an almost last hurrah for the heavyweight division to reinstill itself as an exciting spectacle. There is genuine interest in the David Haye v Wladimir Klitschko Boxing betting on both sides of the pond – something the heavyweight division has failed to achieve since the days of Lewis or even the Tyson era.

Many in the boxing world point the finger of blame directly at the Klitschko brothers for slowly suffocating the heavyweight division over the years. It’s an unwelcome and perhaps an unfair label to stick on the boxing siblings but it hangs there nonetheless.

The man known as ‘The Cobra‘ will take part in the semi-final of the latest ‘Super Six World Boxing Classic’ this Saturday night (6th of June) and most boxing betting purists know this fight is going to be a cracker. The latest ‘Super Six’ matchup – a made-for-TV contest to help find the ultimate super-middleweight boxer in the world – has paired 33 year old, British boxer, Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch against 42 year old, Jamaican, Glen Johnson.

It has to be in the back of Froch’s mind how ageing Bernard Hopkins outclassed Jean Pascal last month to become the oldest man on the planet to hold a world boxing title. If battle-hardened, gladiator, Glen Johnson has his way – another significant boxing title could be heading to the ‘oldie’ corner.
