Boxing

Tyson's words might be biting

Mike Tyson will serve as presenter for fellow former world heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield at next month's Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, Hall officials announced on Tuesday. Tyson was fined $3 million and suspended from boxing for one year after he bit a chunk out of Holyfield's right ear during their 1997 title bout in Las Vegas. Now Tyson will praise Holyfield's achievements in a speech during an Aug 9 gathering that will see 18 inductees added to the honor list.
