First of all, this is a great website.
Since I discovered it, almost 2 years ago, I've visited it practically every time I get online - the results and records are addictive.
Anyway, I just noticed that, for some reason, someone's changed Erik kirkland's age and DOB. It now says that he's 32. The website was right the first time. He's only 25 or 26.
This article, written in April 2000, shows that he was 22 at that time:

I hope that the error is corrected because Erik Kirkland's youth is something that makes him even more of a valuable prospect in the heavyweight division.

Thank you

I did some research on the net, and found several places where his birth date is listed as being born: 4/19/1971 Philadelphia, which would make him 32.

On the other hand there are places where's he's listed as being born November 1, 1977, which would make him only 26

He looks 32 to me, does that count?

There's chance Kirkland lies about his age to make him look better.

BTW, his height varies too, from 6'1 to 6'3

His official DOB (Nov. 1, 1977) has been entered from the Texas State Boxing Commission records.
