There seems to be a great deal of pettiness involved regarding Mike Tyson's visit to Brighton and Hove.

Some of our ladies' groups, especially, seem to want to have Tyson's visit banned in order to stop him appearing here.

But, after all, he is only here to promote boxing - not to rape and pillage.

If the ban is upheld it will cause much disappointment to many boxing enthusiasts.
