It's little surprise that faith in organised Christianity is waning across Britain, but hope that there is something greater to believe in will never be extinguished, writes Catherine Deveney.

History is easy to advertise. It’s harder to make. But some history is part of the promise attached to what otherwise would be just another title bout for another acronym-sponsored belt if not for location, location, location.
Jamel Herring and Carl Frampton are fighting in Dubai Saturday.
If it were Las Vegas or any other of boxing’s familiar stops, the fight for Herring’s junior-lightweight belt (ESPN+, 4 pm ET, 1 pm PT) would be interesting in terms of what’s next for a 130-pound division re-energized by Oscar Valdez’ stirring upset of Miguel Berchelt.
But interesting doesn’t qualify as history, or even noteworthy. Let’s just say that Herring-Frampton is a potential ground breaker for what it could do to boxing’s traditional real estate. It’s the first title fight ever in Dubai.
