Tyson Back In Court

Heavyweight Mitch “Blood” Green went to court Monday in New York hoping that a 1988 street fight with Mike Tyson will give him the payday he could not win in the ring against the former heavyweight champion.

Green, 39, is suing Tyson for $25 million in Manhattan’s State Supreme Court for civil assault because of a “savage” beating Tyson gave him on a Harlem street at 4 a.m. on Aug. 23, 1988.

Julio Cesar Chavez’s super lightweight title fight, scheduled for Oct. 25 against Migel Angel Gonzalez, was postponed after Chavez reinjured his left elbow.
