Boxers with fabricated names

I'm no expert on German or Russian, but I'm pretty sure that Shtikhlits and Stieglitz are German surnames, not Russian, no matter what way you spell them.

 

Zimbabweans got it down to a tee:

Hitler the Killer

Jukebox Timebomb...

 

Darren Sutherland, Phil Lynott, Paul McGrath...

 

And the most famous: Charley Burley.

 

:good

 

Yeah, that's right. Think Pep shortened his first name from something that began with a G. Benny Leonard didn't use his real name either. Barry McGuigan's full first name was Finbarr too...

Lost on points to someone who i assume (and always will) to be joshua clotteys dad, and then disappeared, presumably he was just to tough. Even for ghana.

 

Tyson Fury's real name is Luke Skywalker Tyson vs Holyfield Fury

 

Kell Brook should have kept his real name.

 

Luke "Tyson" Fury :hey

 

Thats his middle name not really the same.

Shea Neary was his father's name.

 

There used to be a fairly sizeable population of guys with ethnic german ancestry for historical reasons - particularly in Kazakhstan. Germany had a repatriation law where these guys were allowed in. Stieglitz is one of them. However, by ancestry, I mean like guys in US who called themselves Scottish, i.e. they are basically Russians, and most likely to have mixed with other nations of the former USSR anyway.

 

Herbert Hide.

 

Michael Gomez is called Michael Armstrong

 

I was talking about Kell Brook the other day, one of my mate's thought I was on about Kelly.
