Boxing: MANCUNIAN MAYHEM MAY SHOCK KOSTYA

Where else can we kick off 2005 but with the great news that Kostya Tszyu has agreed to fight Ricky Hatton?

We have seen these big fights fall through before but the fact that Frank Warren announced it on Sunday and the newspapers have been full of it, gives us every reason to believe the Hitman will finally get a shot at a legitimate world title - and arguably the best in the division.

It really is terrific news for British fight fans and even better news that it is going to take place over here. And I have to admit, that really did surprise me.
