|
A VISIT to Scunthorpe by boxing legends Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno has been cancelled.
The former world heavyweight boxing champions were due to hit the townon the 5th November to open the Dynamite School of Boxing's new £1-million gym on the town's High Street.
But the event has been cancelled after the building failed to meet strict health and safety regulations.
Local promoter and boxing coach, Leon Dobbs, 32, who arranged the visit said: "I am absolutely devastated and would like to offer my deepest apologies to all the disappointed fans."
More than 200 tickets, at £50 a time, had been sold for the first-ever appearance in the town by the fighter known as Iron Mike, who was due to be paid £15,600 for a 90-minute appearance.
Mr Dobbs said he would arrange refunds to be paid from 9am onwards on Monday at the High Street building.
A spokeswoman for North Lincolnshire Council said: "As with any public event, the safety of everyone in attendance is the most important consideration.
"In this case, the event cannot go ahead without adequate fire alarm, emergency lighting and escape routes in place."

FORMER world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson will officially open a £1-million academy for fighters in Scunthorpe next month.
Iron Mike - as he is known to millions of fans - will become the highest-paid celebrity to ever visit the town when he opens the Dynamite School of Boxing in the High Street on Bonfire Night, November 5.
Jimmy Clyne, Tyson's Essex-based tour promotor, said: "This is a real coup for Scunthorpe. Mike's fee for the opening is confidential - but it will be a record for the town."
The 43-year-old ex-world champ will be in Scunthorpe for 90 minutes in between theatre dates in Wolverhampton and Belfast.
Local boxing promoter-coach Leon 'Dynamite' Dobbs, 32, who is believed to be paying around £175 a minute for the visit - a total of £15,750 - said he had no concerns about getting a return on his money.
"This is a one-off for the people of Scunthorpe. It will be a long time before they see legends like Iron Mike in the town," he enthused.
"He is rated by many fans as the world's best boxer of all time. His visit is a great boost for the sport, our club and the whole town."
Local girl Jess Howard added, "This is a dream come true and I cant wait to get a chance to meet the great former champion." |

| 27th-July-09: Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield Pictured Together at the ESPY Award Ceremony |
|
|
While backstage at the 17th Annual ESPY awards, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson shook hands and posed for photographs together showing no hard feelings towards each other amid rumours of a third contest between the two.
The two previous encounters have hailed Holyfield the winner on both occasions. The first (in 1996), was a classic match that earned Ring Magazine's fight of the year. the second bout was hugely controversial with Tyson choosing to bite a chunk out of Evander's right ear in a wild third round in Las Vegas.
Tyson was disqualified when he tried to bite Evander's left ear and went on the rampage in the ring swinging at police officers and security staff. A truly unforgettable night that will link the two fighters forever.
12 Years on from that night, all is well but you can't help feeling that Evander still has not forgiven Mike entirely for what happened in June 1997.
the chances of the two fighting again are pure speculation, it will never happen.
enjoy your retirement guys ! |

| 17th-July-08: Mike Tyson Reportedly Back in Training |
|
A very reputable Mixed Martial Arts news site, Sherdog.com is reporting that Mike Tyson is in some serious training, in which the former boxer is training his butt off with a respected strength and conditioning coach.
Sherdog quotes a source, who wishes to stay anonymous, that Tyson has been privately “training his ass off,” the source went on to add that Tyson will not be doing boxing anymore.
The source was then asked if Tyson was in training to take a stab at MMA? The source would only tell Sherdog, “I don’t know, I can’t say.” Although Mike may never compete in any sort of combat sports we all agree that he needs to get into shape again.
Tyson is such a vain character that it just doesn't suit him to be out of shape. His weight had ballooned to more than 20 stone, more than 5 stone over his fighting weight and it showed clearly at the recent cannes film festival where he was making an appearance at a showing of the new James Toback's documentary "Tyson."
Whatever the reasons may be, it can only be a positive thing is Mike is back in the gym. Any further news or pictures we get will be up on here. |

| 08-May-07: Remembering Diego 'Chico' Corrales |
|
It is always terrible to hear that somebody you know has died, but the feeling I had today when I first heard of Diego Corrales being killed in a motorcycle accident really stopped me in my tracks.
I felt it was imperative that I wrote a short piece on Corrales here to show an appreciation for what a terrific fighter he was.
Corrales was everything a boxer should be, aggresive, exciting, an extremely hard puncher, an unbelievable will to win with a heart to go with it. Corrales' fight with Jose Luis Castillo where he rose from the canvas twice in the 10th round to stop his opponent is still one of the best things I have ever seen in a boxing ring.
Corrales is in my all time top 5 fighters.
What a fighter he was -
God Bless you Chico.

seems pointless now as Mike was arrested on Friday last week
in Arizona for drug offences.
