Former boxing champion Mike Tyson donated cash to a charity set up after a West Yorkshire policewoman was shot on duty. The former world champion handed £5,000 to the Sharon Beshenivsky Fund after being touched by reports of her brutal murder. The
38-year-old mum-of-five was killed and her colleague Teresa Milburn,of
Birstall, was hurt as they investigated reports of a robbery at a
travel agent's shop in Bradford last November. Tyson
was attending a dinner the night of the shooting and later declared he
wanted part of his fee to go to Sharon's memorial fund. He
said: "Somebody has been killed in the line of duty while we were out
at a dinner enjoying ourselves and I would like a donation from that
night's proceeds going to the victim's family."
The fund has now raised more than £40,000 to help support Sharon's children.
West Yorkshire Police Federation chairman Tom McGhie welcomed the boxer's donation and said: "It's a bit of a surprise but it shows everybody can be touched by the horror of something like this."
A police spokesman added: "Sharon's death has had a massive impact and generated messages of support and donations from across the world."

This weekend Mike Tyson will be a special referee for one of the World Cage Fighting Championship bouts in Manchester, England. This venue has played host to the worlds fighting greats such as “Iron” Mike Tyson, Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Prince Naseem Hamed and Amir Khan.
WCFC Cage Fighting bouts are so clinical in the way a fighter can be brutally despatched, that only the best fight referees in the business can be employed to arbitrate during the battles. It is for this reason that the Chief Referee for this Gladiatorial extravaganza is the Baddest Man on the Planet, “Iron” Mike Tyson!
It takes a Warrior to understand and gain the respect of a Warrior, mere mortals will have their place at WCFC.…in the stands where they are safest.
A VIP Corporate Package will give you the opportunity to meet Mike Tyson.
The event will be at the Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester, 8pm, March 18th 2006.

Tyson said: “I haven’t had any training for this — but if I see an eyeball rolling across the floor, I’ll know it’s time I got involved!
“I just hope none of the guys get up to the sort of stuff I used to do.
“But you can forget any talk about me getting involved, even though I love cage fighting.
“I don’t want to fight no one no more. I’m past it, old and washed up — ancient history as far as all that is concerned.”
Tyson added: “People say cage boxing is barbaric but there is a lot of skill, heart, and technique involved.
“There is a bit of the psychotic beast in all of us. Everyone thinks about putting the knee into someone’s face.”
