Seconds out for the boxing finals
- 25 Mar 06, 03:39 AM
There's just 15 minutes to go before the boxing finals get under way in Melbourne. There's a potential for seven golds from British fighters tonight, with one already guaranteed. Jamie Cox, who has been boxing under the name James Russan (it's officially his name in his passport), has already grabbed gold for England in the light welterweight after a walkover against his Lesotho opponent. Former world heavyweight champion George Foreman is reportedly among the distinguished VIPs in the arena. Another former world champion, Richie Woodhall, is here as a BBC commentator and has swapped his T-shirt and shorts of the previous rounds for a shirt and tie. "You've always got to dress up for finals day," he told me.
