What a pity Mike Tyson will not be visiting Brighton after all (The Argus, March 4) - I would love to have seen Jean "Cruncher" Calder climb into the ring with "Mad" Mike in what would have been the fight of the century.

Surely she would have bamboozled him with nifty footnotes, stunned him with syntax and mesmerised him with metaphors, finishing him off with a crisply-delivered bon mot.

Ms Calder may not know much about boxing (although for all I know she packs a powerful punch) but she is certainly plucky, never gives up, and always comes out fighting for what she believes is right. She's a champ!
