Valuev-McCline In One BIG Fight Tonight!
BASEL, SWITZERLAND (TICKER) — Nikolay Valuev is obsessed with Rocky Marciano`s record.
The tallest heavyweight champion of all time, Valuev will defend his WBA title against American Jameel McCline on Saturday.
Valuev (45-0, 33 KOs) is four wins shy of matching Marciano`s streak of 49 consecutive wins.
“I definitely want to break his record,” Valuev said. “If there`s the chance to get your name in the history books with such a great record, it is of course my aim to accomplish it. But that does not mean I will fight weak opponents.”
Hatton And Urango Tonight!!
Ricky Hatton looks to reclaim the title he gave up last year when he takes on Juan Urango for the IBO Light Welterweight Title. Hatton earned “2005 Fighter of the Year” when he won the IBO title back in 2005 with a convincing knockout victory over Kostya Tszyu. He would drop it in 2006 to fight Welterweight champ Luis Collazo. Along the way, Urango came along and defeated Naoufel Ben Rabah to win the vacant title. With the return of Luis Castillo on the under card tonight’s boxing card on HBO should start 2007 off with a bang.
