Nintendo, EA and Sony are being sued by a former boxing champion!

You may not have heard of former Nicaraguan boxing champion, Alexis Arguello, but maybe your dad has. The now 51 year old man was famous during the seventies as a light to featherweight boxer.

However, even if you haven't heard of him lately, Nintendo, Sony and EA certainly have. According to the few particulars available, the former boxer is suing the three companies for illegal use of his likeness in the "Knockout Kings" series published on PS2, Xbox and Gamecube.

Allegedly, the boxer only found out about this use when a young fan asked him to sign a copy of the game "Knockout Kings 2001". Further details of the case are unavaiable.

No doubt everyone will blame Nintendo -they seem to be blamed for everything these days...
