10. Missed the ref, sparring partner and the WBA champ. Annoyingly read the name of the sparring partner in Hugh McIlvanney's book only yesterday. Still couldn't tell you it now. Thanks for posting.

He was shit hot fair do's....... Missed on the Sparring Partner, Referee and the venue (probably would have stabbed at the correct answer on the latter but the guy said it so early).

ok, try his general knowledge questions, and see who gets the highest combined score.
I'm guessing they won't be much higher than the ones you've got already.

I took part in a sports quiz on UK Gold about 15 years ago and picked Tyson's life and career as my specialist subject. Believe me, it's a lot easier from your armchair. Having said that, you either know the answers or you don't. I got through four rounds and screwed up in the final. It was called Sports Anorak of the Year and was hosted by Rory McGrath.

nice one for posting this - I got 3

I got 4.

Would have got 4 more with a tad more time, if the geezer hadn't blurted the answers right out.

I got 9 but trying to answer before that guy put me off though would not have remembered Bill McMurray or the Tyson ref.

A pocket television. Lost to a West Ham fan whose specialist subject was England soccer internationals from 1970 (top bloke, as it happened).

Hi gents,

I got 10... kicked myself on a couple I got wrong but must admit I would not have got Foreman's sparring partner if you'd given me ten minutes on that question alone!

(and my general knowledge isn't what it should be, so I'd have almost certainly been last)

Boxing is not a bad sport for quizzes.

I was on Sports Mastermind with Dickie Davies. My specialist subject was Boxing and they gave me Mexican boxers. Did okay.
