Tony Thompson got the giggles during his face-off with Wladimir Klitschko at the Stade De Suisse yesterday. Thompson is due to fight Klitschko in a mandatory bout at the stadium in July – a prospect that shouldn’t provoke uncontrollable laughter.

Maybe he heard that Frank Warren’s opportunism regarding David Haye’s post fight press conference scuffle with Dereck Chisora last May has paid off.

I certainly allowed my head to drop when I heard. Onto my desk. Repeatedly.
