Next Up for Tyson? Vassiliy Jirov?

Wednesday July 21, 2004
Let's assume Mike Tyson takes care of business on July 30 against Danny Williams. Hard to imagine he won't. So then who does Tyson fight next? The early word is that it might be former cruiserweight champion Vassiliy Jirov. The good news is that Jirov is a tough, entertaining fighter. The bad news is that he's not a true heavyweight and has lost two of his last four bouts (to James Toney and Joe Mesi) ... which makes him an ideal opponent for Tyson's latest comeback tour.
