Prague - A five day charity visit by former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has been called off because of poor ticket sales the organisers announced here on Monday.

The 44-year-old - who was world heavyweight champion from 1986 to 1990 - had been due to arrive in Prague on Tuesday and stay till Saturday.

"The tickets were unfortunately too expensive for the local market," said the Swiss promoter Rey Karpf, quoted by Czech agency CTK.

"We didn't sell enough."

It would have cost 2 000 euros to train with the former champion, 1 000 euros for spending an evening with him and 120 000 euros for dinner with Tyson.

According to CTK, the organisers were going to pay Tyson a million dollars a day with part of that going to a Prague children's hospital.

In light of Burry Stander's tragic death, is cycling on South African roads simply too dangerous?

Absolutely! One has to be crazy to cycle on SA roads and nothing will ever change that

It's dangerous, but with the '1.5m' distance rule things are improving
