    Fought in USA 6 times. Something smells fishy.

    Those damn puritan countries, just as bad as the UK not allowing Tyson to do his promotion on its soil.

    The fight is still 11 days away so thankfully that gives him some spare time. I'm worried about that 48 hour deadline though. I'm also curious how officials can explain letting him in 6 times under the same conditions yet now they're demanding some additional papers they did not require before. Bureaucracy!:patsch
