Lewis said about Tyson: "He is working on his life and staying out of the media. I talk to him once in a while, and things are cool. I'd like to do some business with him, make him some money. He is not how people think, he's a proper bloke." http://www.sportinglife.com/boxing/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=boxing/08/02/07/manual_074925.html A lot of people dont realise that Lewis actually helped Tyson when he sued Don King for interference in the contract with Tyson for a co-headling card. That ended up being the Lewis Klitschko fight after Tyson pulled out of the undercard after alleged threats from King pertaining to their long running lawsuit. In that court case Lewis accused king of threatening Tyson and stealing money from Tyson, he even named witnesses to alleged death threats made against Tyson which led to Don King settling with Tyson out of court on Tysons long running suit against King.
Tysons an idiot but if Lennox wants to help him not become the next Joe Louis then that's a good thing. Mike Tyson brought so many casual fans into boxing back in the day....I shudder to think what this site would have been like if Tyson was around today cleaning up the division at age 21 :shock:
Well he's going the wrong way about it if that's the case. If he dressed up as Cus D'Amato he'd probably get a large piece of it. Allegedly.
Thats cool to hear, good to see boxers looking out for each other. Props to Lennox. Tyson has done his share helping out boxers as well. Iran Barkley Duran Frank Bruno Kid Gavilan I hope boxers continue to look out for each other, this is great.
I read an interview with Lewis in the Sunday Times last week where he has a go at Tyson for a few things. Lewis has pity for Tyson and nothing else. It's a bit of a **** article but you can cut to the Tyson bit: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/article3295356.ece
