RIP Trevor Berbick
It's just been released that he's been found dead in Jamaica - aged 52. No details announced as yet......
It's not often that a boxer is remembered for a defeat as opposed to a win but that's the case here. Trevor Berbick was dethroned in 4(?) rounds by a yound up and coming Mike Tyson - to become the youngest ever world heavyweight champion. The images of Berbick trying valliantly to stand upright on 'jelly' legs after being knocked down by Tyson will remain with me forever........ I hope it was natural causes and not another case of a fallen star hitting on hard times and succumbing to drugs............ RIP Trevor Berbick.

Trevor Berbick, the last boxer to fight Muhammad Ali, was killed in Jamaica on Saturday by an assailant wielding a hatchet or machete, police said.
He suffered a serious head wound and was found near a church in Norwich, his hometown, 90 miles east of Kingston. Aged either 51 or 52 - his birthdate is disputed - he was pronounced dead in hospital early on Saturday.

RIP Trevor. I remember the night in 1986. Berbick will be a part of boxing history even in defeat. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
