The Beast Still Hoping To Fight Iron Mike

Tuesday December 30, 2003
While Lennox Lewis is deciding whether or not he's ever going to enter the ring again, Mike Tyson is facing a differnt decision -- what type of ring to enter. With his interest in boxing apparently waning, Tyson appears to be contemplating facing Bob "The Beast" Sapp in a K-1 bout at some point in 2004. Sapp has helped make K-1, a karate/kickboxing/taekwondo/kung fu hybrid - a phenomenon in Japan. A proposed bout between the 6'-7", 375 pound Sapp and Tyson in the United States would be designed to lure a whole new nation of fans to the fledgling sport. The event itself would likely become as much a media circus/freakshow as a sporting event.
