Boxing: WBC demand Lewis-Tyson showdown

The World Boxing Council are preparing to block the proposed fight between Lennox Lewis and Chris Byrd on the grounds that Mike Tyson should be the challenger to Lewis' heavyweight title.

Lewis was due to fight Tyson in Las Vegas on April 6 but the American was refused a licence by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after instigating a brawl with Lewis at a New York press conference.
