The man who once knocked out Mike Tyson; Danny Williams, is set to fight a surprise rematch against Audley Harrison to replace the injured Matt Skelton. Skelton had to pull out of his Commonwealth heavyweight title defence, which is to take place on the 9th of December in London, due to the fracturing of his right hand in training.

So his replacement Williams has come back to step into the ring with Harrison nearly one year on from their first bout which he won with a split decision. Williams; who has not fought since his Commonwealth loss to Skelton back in July, said: “Now I can really end the career of Audley Harrison once and for all. Harrison’s got no excuses at all when I smash him up (read more…)

Tragically, on the 28th of October 2006, the ex-heavyweight champion Trevor Berbick was murdered at a church in Norwich. He suffered multiple blows to the head which resulted in him dying at the scene of the attack.
Many people will only ever remember Trevor Berbick as the last guy to fight Muhammad Ali or the guy that got brutally knocked out by “Iron” Mike Tyson, but this is a short biography of the late boxing legend that recently lost his life.
He was born on August 1, 1955 (although it may have been 1954) in Jamaica. When he was 16 he claimed to have had a vision from God which was the first of many colourful events in an eventful, yet troubled, life. At the age of 21, Berbick represented his Jamaica in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Canada as a heavyweight boxer, even though he only had only 11 amateur bouts before this. This lack of experience was clearly shown as he lost to the eventual silver medalist: Romanian Mircea Simon; even though he still showed a lot of potential as a young heavyweight boxer.

After the Olympics Berbick left Jamaica decided to fight professionally in Canada (read more…)

The last ever boxer to have fought the great Muhammad Ali, Trevor Berbick, was killed in Jamaica by an attacker using a hatchet or machete, claim police. He was aged between 51 and 52 – as his birth date was clarified - he was found dead near a church 90 miles east of Kingston, with serious head wounds and police are currently treating his death as murder.
Berbick, who claimed as a teenager that he had a vision of God, beat Ali back in 1981 and for a short time held the WBC heavyweight belt in 1986 prior to losing to “Iron” Mike Tyson. The great Jamaican represented his country at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, losing to the concluding silver medallist. After that he chose to stay in Montreal and fight as a professional in Canada. In the beginning he was a talented and dominant heavyweight and won his first 11 fights before losing to another growing gift called Bernardo Mercado in the year 1979. But, as he usually did, he came back from that loss to lock a world title shot against the awesome Larry Holmes back in April 1981; even though he lost the fight after 15 rounds to a unanimous decision. After whipping a worn-out Ali over 10 rounds in the Bahamas in 1981, Berbick transferred to Florida and signed up with the notorious promoter Don King.
Nearly five years after his defeat to Holmes, Berbick came back in style to trouble Pinklon Thomas to claim the WBC edition of the heavyweight crown (read more…)

Commonwealth heavyweight champion Matt Skelton, 39, will defend his title against Olympic heavyweight gold medallist Audley Harrison, 34, on the 9th of December at London’s ExCel Arena. Skelton, who is from Bedford, won the Commonwealth belt back in July when he won a unanimous decision over fellow citizen Danny Williams.

Harrison, who is from London, is attempting to do what fellow heavyweight Mike Tyson has decided to do, and to try and get his career back on the straight and narrow after a succession of poor defeats. The former Olympic champion was once the owner of the Commonwealth belt before he lost it to Williams in back in late 2005. Harrison’s status as a world heavyweight champion took a thrashing following that pathetic excuse for a fight (read more…)

Once the youngest ever world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is to try and relight his flame by coming back into the ring in a desperate attempt to clear his snowballing debts.

The 40-year-old is going to attempt to fight former sparring partner Corey ‘T-Rex’ Sanders on the 20th of October in Youngstown. The bout will only last four rounds and has been labelled by Tyson’s promoters as the ‘Mike Tyson World Tour’. The ‘Baddest Man of the Planet’s last fight was in back in 2005 when he experienced a degrading defeat to Irishman Kevin McBride and consequently announced his retirement. “Iron” Mike said last month that he “truly hated fighting” but all the same he is going to end his 15-month breather and step back through the ropes into the ring (read more…)
