It's a Knockout

'Iron' Mike Tyson

The square ring comes to the bull ring on August 12th in Benidorm. There's an international boxing gala taking place that evening featuring 8 matches across different weight categories.

The promoters are expecting a bumper crowd because two of the boxers are local boys, European Champ Kiko Martínez from Alicante and Roberto Santos from Benidorm. And because there's a large British contingent, including UK champ John Simpson on the bill, it's sure to be an attraction for British holiday makers in town at that time.

However the star attraction has got to be the presence of the former heavyweight champion of the world 'Iron' Mike Tyson. Tickets cost between €25 and €80 depending on how close to the ring the seats are.
