Nicola Adams: 'It's nice to see so many girls involved in the sport I love'
You are unlikely to open your newspaper any time soon to find Nicola Adams, whose beaming face came to symbolise the delight of a nation let loose in the London 2012 sweet shop better than any other, complaining about the pressures of fame.
Floyd Mayweather gambles in taking Saúl Alvarez now rather than later
Over the years, Floyd Mayweather Jr has won and lost millions gambling. He has decorated his adopted city of Las Vegas with the style of an old-time loudmouth, literally throwing his money away, across nightclub floors to easily dazzled sycophants, and in bets on everything from golf to American football. But the risk he is taking by agreeing to fight the undefeated young Mexican Saúl "Canelo" Alvarez in the second of his contracted six fights with Showtime at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on 14 September might be the biggest of his career.
Carl Froch gains revenge on Mikkel Kessler in gripping title fight
Carl Froch threw nearly a thousand punches to beat Mikkel Kessler on points – one score a ludicrously lop-sided 118-110, alongside more reasonable verdicts of 115-113 and 116-112 – but he surely knows he shared the honours if not the decision with the beaten Dane.

Carl Froch ramps up rivalry ahead of Mikkel Kessler rematch
Carl Froch stares at the goose bumps that have risen on his muscular left arm and a shiver runs through him. There have never been any doubts that his fight with Mikkel Kessler at the O2 Arena in south‑east London on Saturday night in defence of his IBF super-middleweight title was going to be anything but an uncompromising reprise of their encounter in Denmark three years ago, but the Nottingham boxer has reached a frightening pitch of intensity.

Amir Khan says he would love to fight 'work of art' Floyd Mayweather
Amir Khan has joined the lengthening queue to get a piece of the Floyd Mayweather money-making extravaganza, but the Bolton fighter says he has a Christmas commitment before that payday, and will have to wait until May or September next year for his chance.
Robert Guerrero seeks to put fear of God into Floyd Mayweather Jr
Some fighters smile when they are hurt in the ring, a defence mechanism designed to convey comfort under pressure. Robert Guerrero is different. He more than likely smiles when he wakes up and does not stop until he goes to sleep, happiness that is disarming in a business not known to encourage bliss.
Amir Khan may have had his last fight in Britain as United States beckon
It seems highly unlikely Amir Khan will box in his own country again, and that is a pity. His courage and skill, never fully embraced by a small but vocal knot of British fans, deserved better than the scattered boos among the greater cheers that greeted his flawed, thrilling points win over Julio Díaz in Sheffield on Saturday night.
