A six-week-old baby is facing a fight to learn her full name - after being given 25 middle names honouring the world's greatest ever boxers.
The far-from-punchy name given to Autumn Brown, which features a staggering 185 letters, left register office staff reeling.
Autumn's mother, Maria, decided on the knockout title to keep up a family tradition started by her boxing-mad parents, who gave their three children a total of 103 names.
The baby's full name is Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.
Maria, from Perton, Wolverhampton, told the city's Express and Star: "The whole thing came about because both my mum and dad are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour.
"When I was young I couldn't ever remember my name. It took me until the age of 10 to memorise it all."
The 33-year-old mother added: "I'm hoping Autumn has a good sense of humour with her name. It's never done me any harm though."
And the answer is NO. I do not want a child named afer the entire Everton team.
