By Gavin “Neds” O’Connor: In sports there are some truly iconic stadiums and venues the world over football has Wembley (in London, UK), F1 Grand Prix has the playground of the rich and famous, the Monaco racing circuit , New York and baseball have the Yankee stadium and boxing has Las Vegas venues and the MGM Grand the mecca of modern boxing.
It has over the year’s showcased the biggest names in boxing, records have been made and broken millions won and lost legends created and dreams shattered.
