Tyson to fight in China to ease bankruptcy
At a price of US$3 million, former heavyweight boxing world champion Mike Tyson is expected to visit China and have a formal match. Agreement has been reached between Beijing Competition Administration Center and agent on behalf of Tyson on Mar. 10 to ensure Tyson's tour as soon as possible. Zhang Heng with Beijing Competition Administration Center disclosed that the boxing star's tour is composed of two parts: A 10-day visit to China in June, 2004, mainly exchanges with Chinese boxers, some visits, sightseeing and charity activities. And then in October 2004, Tyson will come to China again for a formal commercial match against the preliminarily set well-known Russia heavyweight. The sponsor noted the price for Tyson in the two activities is estimated as about US$3 million in which the first part takes up the most. Sources say Beijing Competition Administration Center has reached agreement with Tyson's agent that if things go well, the two sides will hold a press conference in Las Vegas, the famous gambling center in the Untied States in April. |
