Tyson Gets June Fight Date

Mike Tyson has a new fight date, and Nevada boxing regulators have new plans to prevent the scheduling of major fights on the same night.

Tyson’s promoter, Don King, wasted no time in asking for a June 22 date for a heavyweight title unification fight in light of a new regulation by the Nevada Athletic Commission on fight scheduling.

The June 22 fight at the MGM Grand hotel-casino would reportedly match Tyson against either WBA heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon or whoever holds the disputed IBF crown at the time.

Welterweight Todd Foster, from Montana, is thinking about trying a comeback a year after he quit his professional boxing career. He compiled a 33-4 record with 29 knockouts.
