Spot the error! Also Frank's quote is incorrect, he said it was the best heavyweight FIGHT he had seen in 10-15 years.

The previously unbeaten Skelton now has to surrender his European title and 37-year-old Rogan is being lined up for a crack at the belt.

previously unbeaten is an overused phrase. many writers use it wrongly, because anyone was unbeaten once unless they lost their pro debut.

Yeah, but I'd think it was more simply a case of the writer not knowing the facts. He might have meant previously unbeaten by stoppage?
