Boxing: Lewis-Tyson bout rests on TV promises

Lennox Lewis’ business manager hopes the American television networks that have agreed a two-match showdown between the British fighter and Mike Tyson live up to their promises in the wake of the Hasim Rahman decision.

Lewis’ fights are screened by HBO while Tyson is shown on Showtime in the USA and the television giants agreed to a two-fight deal before a US court ruled that Rahman could fight no other opponent than the Brit in the next 18 months.
