I have a Smegging question

I'm being serious here.

I was looking at the GBC's website today (as you do.) On their shedule (and yours too) Armin Dollinger fights a guy (see below) for one of their titles. Now look at the guy's name as boxrec records him:

http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=308554

And then go to http://www.gbc-worldboxing.com/ and click on "GBC dates" to see the guy's name as they record it.

Now my question is - who has the correct spelling? Does the GBC have it right, and boxrec, in the interest of decency, has slightly altered it (although perhaps there is an argument to say Bernard is entitled to have his correct name displayed?) or is boxrec right, and the GBC webmaster is simply taking the piss?

Googling it, BoxRec has the correct spelling.

How could I ever have doubted it.

Ok, now I can't resist e-mailing the GBC to alert them of their typo

Edit: the crusade to save Bernard some potentially embarassing moments continues:

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been looking at your new website, which is very interesting and well thought out.
Could I just bring to your attention one small spelling error. In the "Dates" section I think you list one fighter's name slightly incorrectly. I believe the correct spelling is "Bernard Donfack." This is as his name appears in the boxrec database and also on various articles that appear when you search the name on google.
Thank you for your time, and best of luck with your new organisation.

Ok boxrec has now changed Bernard's name to the (presumably) correct spelling. Happy that these things get cleared up.

It's Donfack and I've changed it back, Donf u ck is not a German name and I'm guessing someone is using it to try and gain some publicity.
