The Heavyweight Championship of the World was once the ultimate crown in the world of athletics as well as masculinity. It was the prize all fighters dreamed of one day grasping, regardless of their national, social or individual loyalties - the desire to be deemed the "baddest man on the planet" was a lust universal to combatants the world over. The halls of history are lined with those who sacrificed all they had in order to position themselves to be the man standing across the ring from the guardian of the gold. Some have even sacrificed all more than once, with the feeling that a shot at the greatest prize in boxing is not to be denied.

Following the recent cancellation of the Alexander Povetkin vs Wladimir Klitschko bout, it's been nothing but groans from the boxing community - with the occasional profanity thrown in. Boxing fans were looking forward to a potentially exciting World Heavyweight Championship fight, but are now left with another bland match-up as Samuel Peter substitutes for Povetkin in the ring. What may have been an important rematch 3-4 years ago is just another title defense.

Firat Arslan, who challenged Frenchman Steve Herelius for the interim WBA Cruiserweight Championship of the World Saturday, has been released from the hospital. The former champion was off to a good start and looked on his way to a points victory, in his first fight back since taking nearly two-years off. Arslan rocked Herelius in round 7 and picked up a 10-8 round when his opponent was deducted a point for a head-butt in round 10.
