Boxing: Lawyers will explore Tyson's options

Mike Tyson’s lawyers will pore over the legal implications of the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s decision to deny the former world heavyweight champion a licence to fight in Las Vegas.

Tyson was refused a licence by a 4-1 majority verdict of the five-strong panel in confusing circumstances in the city where he hoped to be fighting Lennox Lewis on April 6 in the biggest grossing fight of all time.
