Bradley Wiggins: winner of the Tour De France 2012

Olympic gold medallistBradley Wiggins re-wrote the history books by becoming the first British rider to win the Tour De France.  It was a great day for British cycling all round as the brilliant Chris Froome took 2^nd place overall and fellow Olympian Mark Cavendish won the final stage, sprinting down the Champs Elysees to share the glory.

There was to be no last day agony for Wiggins, who safely negotiated himself around Paris , to complete the formalities after Saturday's awesome  time-trial victory gave him an almost untouchable lead.

David Haye destroys Dereck Chisora

Former Heavyweight and undisputed Cruiserweight Champion David Haye put on a master class of speed and power to stop Dereck Chisora in five rounds at Upton Park last night. After four cagey rounds where the bigger Chisora was having some success with his come forward style, Haye exploded in the fifth with a four punch combination which saw Chisora hit the canvas for the first time in his career. Chisora bravely got back up and continued to come forward, but when another combination landed the fight was over. Haye now has his sights firmly set on Vitali Klitschko who laboured to a points victory over Chisora earlier in the year. Haye's brutal knock-out of the granite chinned Chisora is sure to send shockwaves round the Heavyweight division.
Where does Dereck Chisora go now? Redemption may come in the form of Tyson fury or David Price, but will the risk / reward ratio be tempting enough for those undefeated fighters now that Del Boy has a record of 15 wins with 4 losses? Will Haye now go for a re-match with Wlad or a fight with Vitali?

Danny Garcia takes Amir 'King' Khan's crown

Amir Khan's career came to a shuddering halt with a brutal fourth round stoppage at the hands of unbeaten American Danny Garcia. In a packed Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas,  Khan started well with Garcia seeming to have no answer to the speed Amir was bringing to the table. Khan caught Garcia in the 2nd round, opening up a nasty cut just above the American's right eye. Coming out for the 3rd Khan must have been confident he had Garcia's number, but that all changed with a great shot from no-where. It knocked Khan to the canvas and whilst the Brit bravely got to his feet he was on wobbly legs. He somehow managed to see the round out, but look 'spaced out' in his corner. He got up for the 4th round and seemed to have recovered somewhat. However, Garcia sensed blood and every shot landed seemed to have an impact every-time he landed. He sent Khan to the canvas again and when a shot hit Khan's forehead the fight was over. Khan said afterwards he felt he could of continued, but most felt he could have few complaints. Garcia now has the boxing World at his feet, 24-0 and only 24 years old. Where now for Khan? A fight against Kell Brook may be on the horizon - but no chance of a shot at Floyd 'Money' Mayweather anytiem soon.
