Abdul Amid(o)u and Pete(r) Holm

Post by Emaster »

Abdul Amidou's BoxRec name differs from the name given on his promoter's site, which reads Abdul Amidu. What's the correct spelling?*

The same applies to Pete Holm's BoxRec name, which differs from the name given on his promoter's site. There it reads Peter Holm. What's the correct spelling?

The page which is linked to above gives Holm's date of birth as April 6, 1951. It could be added to his BoxRec profile. The birthplace is supposed to be Minnesota whereas BoxRec states Denmark.

*According to Bettina Palle, Amid(o)u has died, but there is no date of death (or birth for that matter) on Palle's site.

Holm's date of birth has been added to BoxRec :TU:. The names still differ from those on Palle's site.

There is no correct spelling, when translating from the Arabic to Roman alphabet there are many valid interpretations.

One issue less :TU:. Now, there's only left a disagreement on Holm's first name and his place of birth.

The BoxRec name now reads Peter Holm as does the name on Palle's site. The place of birth (Denmark in BoxRec; Minnesota, USA on Palle's site) has not been adjusted, though. Does that mean that you think Denmark is correct or is this still being checked?

Has the research come to a conclusion? Peter Holm's BoxRec profile still lists Denmark as his birth place whereas his promoter's site still says Minnesota, USA.

EDIT: Now BoxRec also states Minnesota as Holm's birth place.
