Boxing: Legend in tax auction

Thomas "Hitman" Hearns says an auction to help him pay a US$448,000 ($688,000) tax debt went well.

The event in Detroit featured a 1957 Chevrolet, three boats, a three-wheeled motorcycle and boxing memorabilia.

Hearns, 51, held WBA, WBC, WBU and IBO titles between 1980 and 1999.

His three-round loss to Marvin Hagler for the middleweight title in 1985 is generally considered one of boxing's best bouts.
