The English Mastiff and the the Boxer are both recognized distinct breeds in the United Kingdom.   If the dog had been a Boxer the Telegraph would have said that.

This picture in the Sky News article, "One-Year-Old Dies In 'Appalling' Dog Attack ", clearly shows the dog was not a Boxer. Your link also indicates that the Boxer is as gentle as a lamb with children.

I never said the dog that attacked was a boxer, just that boxers are indeed mastiff-types.
I have a fondness for the breed, myself.
