By Clive Bernath: Great news for boxing fans, Sky Box office is to screen the heavyweight clash between Mike Tyson and former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Danny Williams on July 30.
Prior to the Tyson vs Lewis clash from the Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky, Sky Box office will broadcast the British lightweight title bout from Bethnal Green in London between champion Graham Earl and Harlow's Steve Murray as well as heavyweight champion Matt Skelton.
I love how these so called journalists can get even the basics wrong. Pathetic.

You know, it's surprisingly easily done, especially on a website where you don't have proper editorial staff to check it. I've made quite a few blunders i must say.
Newspapers have whole teams of people to check through the contact, but they still make schoolboy errors.

true but people make mistakes I guess, time for little anecdote for ya, a long time ago I used to work in Human Resources (personnel if you like) expatriating people all round the world.
Now the main task of the job was to sort out contract and pay calcs give advice as to ho much freight you could take etc etc.
There was one particular fellow whom was very senior who was moving to Nigeria, he pestered constantly about how to get his daughters pet cat and hamster into Nigeria, which really I couldnt have given a eff about and certinaly wasnt for me to sort out.
One morning after particulalry heavy night the night before I got an email asking for an update as to the cat / hamster situation, I wrote an email for my boss, bascially intimating that this blokes was a complete pudendum, and was doing my head in, the one phrase that sticks with me is, "the only advice I can give him about the friggin cat and the hamster is dont put em in the same box"
Unfortunately I didnt forward it to my boss, I replied to him(the expat) by mistake.
Needless to say I to grovel most ashamedley.
