New Date For Fight

Tue., July 9, 1996

Mike Tyson’s fight with WBA heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon will likely be held Sept. 7, assuming Tyson recovers normally from the bronchitis that forced Saturday’s scheduled fight to be postponed.

Promoter Don King has asked the Nevada Athletic Commission to reschedule the fight Sept. 7 at the MGM Grand hotel-casino.

The new date is expected to prompt rival promoter Bob Arum to move back a title fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Angel Gonzalez that had been set for Sept. 14 at Caesars Palace.

Arum said Monday he will move the De La Hoya fight to Oct. 11 if King reschedules the Tyson-Seldon fight for Sept. 7.
