Peter Nyland correction

Hoops · Post by **Hoops** » 07 Feb 2005, 06:15

In the BoxRec database, there's a U.S. fighter named Peter Nyland(US-CA-278563), who fought Willie Williams at the Henry Fonda Theatre on Jan 27.

According to several Swedish sources, the guy fighting Williams was a Swede - named Peter Nylund (not -land).

Sources (in Swedish, but you can recognize names and stuff):

Regarding the other fight listed for "Nyland" on BoxRec, vs. Guadalupe Acosta, I don't have that much information - so you need to check somehow if there IS a fighter named "Peter Nyland" or if both these fights were fought by Nylund. However, I've found these cached on Google (FightNews using the name Nylund, the other "amateur one" using Nyland):

Nylund's birthplace is Borås, Sweden (or somewhere near that town) and his nationality thus Swedish, but his hometown (L.A.) is correct, since all Swedes have to spar and fight abroad due to Swedish legislation (which, btw, allows all other kinds of martial arts...).

In fact, the "editor's note" on BoxRec for the fight Nyland vs. Acosta reads "debuting Nylund down twice".

So it seems the editor couldn't decide on what he wanted to call him either.

Peter Nyland is on the official commission reports.
But U are right that the reporting media calls him Peter Nylund, so it is entered in his birth name.
U might want to take this issue up with the California Commission.

I don't think I will.
Odds are I would just make a fool of myself.

Maybe someone else, who lives in a country where Boxing Commissions actually exist, wants to?

Do you have the official report from that previous fight too?

I take it it's also not possible to correct his nationality because the California State Athletic Commission has screwed something up?

Once again, is the official report from the Acosta fight also available, and what is Nyland/nylund called in that report?

I know what U mean;
Bureaucrats tend to want to pull U down to their level

Nyland is the name on both reports.
I corrected his nationality & will pursue this further.

In the meantime, how about some info for his profile?
Birthplace, Date of Birth, Height, Reach, Stance, Trainer, & Manager?

Sorry for not checking this thread again. I personally don't have any info on Peter - I'm just the average Swedish BoxRec visitor who also reads newspapers and is able of seeing that 1+1 should probably equal 2...

I have this link to an interview with Peter (NB - his name is still Nylund). Could be something if one wants to dig deeper into this issue.

At least it tells us his age (23), birthplace (Borås, Sweden), and the name of his combined trainer/manager (Shaheed Suluki). And also we can learn that his favorite fighters are Mayweather Jr. and Hopkins...

This could also be interesting (although maybe it doesn't help quite as much...):

Peter Nylund has a minor part in a Hollywood movie!

Oops!

Didn't notice his bio had already been updated.

I believe his trainer's name is misspelt though... And birthplace could be added...

Also, who provided this information? Is that person aware of the fact that Peter's "official" surname is Nyland instead of Nylund?

Birthplace, Manager and division changed/corrected. We need the exact birthdate we cant just use "23 years".

Sure, but as I already said, I don't have that information.

The California Commission has corrected Peter’s last name to Nylund.
