    Anyone read "A Savage Businees : The Comeback and Comedown of Mike Tyson" by Richard Hoffer ?

    On page 175 - 177 it details the failure to make Lewis-Tyson episode.

    Worth a read :

    He was ducked by Bowe who wanted a few easy defenses first. He was ducked by Tyson who thought Holyfield would be a better choice.
