Boxing: Lewis-Tyson clash 'gets green light'

South African boxing promoter Joe Manyathi said he was asked by Lennox Lewis to stage a title fight between him and Mike Tyson in Johannesburg on July 21.

Johannesburg-based Manyathi said he was commissioned by the Lennox camp in October to stage the clash and was now in negotiations with Tyson's business manager Mark Macpherson.
