In the series Lost, the plane crash takes place after the pilot loses radio contact and changes course to Fiji. From which city did the flight depart?

Charles ‘Sonny’ Liston - interesting character, one of the most fascinating characters in Boxing history. Nobody knows his date of birth, nobody knows the exact date of his death (sometime between the Christmas - New Year period of 70/71). Was he murdered? Was it suicide? An accidental overdose? Natural causes?

We’ll probably never know, he had ties to the mob who controlled Heavyweight boxing in the US in the 60s.

Son of Arkansas share-croppers, very poor family, no way of keeping birth records. His heritage is unknown as are so many things about his life.

Well worth researching his story, there are many books on him and documentaries.

But no Ghanaian ancestry, as far as is known.

Going to make dinner - clues will follow after.

The aforementioned Nigel Benn had an interesting past, as well. He was well connected to a certain crew of villains from the South East, including Tony Tucker and Pat Tate. They’d often be ringside at his fights, and walk in with him. Tucker and Tate were murdered, along with an associate, in the infamous Rettendon Murders.

The gang had a hand in supplying huge amounts of Ecstasy in the 90s, and were allegedly behind the dodgy pill that killed Leah Betts.

Legend has it a bigger fish decided they were becoming a liability...
