Heavyweight boxing bouts may have lost some steam after the retirement of the legendary Lennox Lewis, but there's plenty good news for fight fans. The likes of David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko are about to tear things up come the 2nd July 2011. And all the brouhaha around the fight is getting boxing fans excited beyond compare. William Hill Sports is first in line to provide fans of both these fighters with winning odds. The Latest Betting Odds David Haye 11/8 versus Wladimir Klitschko 4/7. A draw will likely yield odds of 33/1. There are currently 12 bets on various fighting outcomes. These include KOs, points victories, round victories, TKOs and DQs. Fight fans will be able to enjoy all the hottest boxing action courtesy of William Hill Sports and live in-play betting at the ringside. David Haye Ramps up the Hype An entertaining iPhone Application released by David Hayes' corner is generating loads of buzz in the online gaming realm. The app showcases the giant Klitschko getting his head knocked off by pugilists. While Klitschko is not named specifically in the gaming app, it is pretty clear who the Eastern European Boxer really is. Back in 2009 David Haye raised a ruckus when he wore a t-shirt depicting the decapitation of both Klitschko brothers. But the good news is that his iPhone application is selling really well. It's already in the top 30 apps of around 500,000 on the market. And because Haye is the little guy in the fight, he's got the most to prove. He is already the World Boxing Association champion (WBA) and he's eager to silence his critics against the super-smart, giant-sized Vladimir Klitschko. The contest will be taking place at the Imtech Arena in Hamburg on July 2nd 2011 and Haye is going all-out to prove himself worthy of the crown of undisputed boxing champion.

British bookmaking giant Ladbrokes has revealed a massive hand to the world with the news that it is making an attempt to takeover fellow online sportsbook operator Sportingbet. £462m investment Ladbrokes's bid is estimated at some GBP 462 million, according to reports, and follows several months of takeover and merger talks with internet gaming firm 888 and online gaming software giant Playtech that didn't lead anywhere. But this latest move shows that Ladbrokes still believes very much that it will need to make a landmark acquisition to boost its internet business, as it competes with major rivals like William Hill and Betfair for a share of the internet betting and gambling markets. What would Sportingbet bring? The obvious answer to this question is that it would pave the way for Ladbrokes into some critical international markets such as Spain and Greece where it does not currently have such a major presence. Even more notably, it would also bring into the fold Australian betting firm Centrebet, which ironically was purchased by Sportingbet for GBP 119 million after Ladbrokes itself chose not to pay that sum for the business. It will be interesting to see what unfolds from this latest round of talks and speculation.
At a time of year when many of the big online gambling firms are undergoing some form of restructuring or another, Betfair is going with that trend as it looks for a new CEO and maps out its future. Yu Leaves After some speculation doing the rounds in the gaming community, Betfair finally made a stock market announcement that CEO David Yu will be stepping down from his position at the end of his current contract in October 2012. The London-based company, technically the world's largest betting exchange with 2010 revenue of some GBP 341 million, will no doubt attract some big names in the e-gaming industry to apply for the job as chief executive. Leaders in Innovation In Yu's five years as CEO Betfair's reputation as one of the internet leaders in innovation has continued to grow. In addition to the company's online sportsbook, Betfair today boasts poker, casino, in-play betting and exchange betting platforms that are very popular. And just in the last month the company has attracted several talented names to its lineup, including former Yahoo exec Raj Vermulapalli as VP of mobile engineering, and Ian Chuter from William Hill as group operations director. These appointments are a good indication that Betfair's intends to keep developing its products as it competes with major rivals.

In a major development, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission has suspended the operating license for Full Tilt Poker. The news was published by EGamingReview and is the top poker news of the day across the web. Full Tilt Poker is one of the world's largest and most popular online poker sites, but has rubbed off the wrong way on many players, industry insiders, and apparently, most recently, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, when it held back payments following the US crackdown on online poker on April 15, 2011. Full Tilt has now lost its European license. All games are paused, and cashouts are not available. Alderney Statement "The decision to suspend these licenses follows a special investigation prompted by the indictments unsealed by US Attorney General's Office in the Southern District of New York on 15th April 2011, during which grounds were found to indicate that these licensees and their business associates were operating contrary to Alderney legislation." We will keep you updated with more news as it comes out.
