((Boxer Mike Tyson has knocked out more than a dozen fighters during his
heavyweight career. But Tyson's latest battle will be won or lost with
his brains, not brawn.
(NAT SCUFFLE, FIGHT - FROM PRESS CONF :03)
Last weeks press conference was supposed to promote the Tyson-Lennox
Lewis championship fight. But it may have destroyed any chance of it
happening. Tyson scuffled with Lewis and bodyguards, and Lewis later
accused Tyson of biting his leg. Then Iron Mike went after someone in
the crowd.
(NAT BLEEPED YELLING :05)
Now the Nevada Athletic Commission has to consider whether Tyson should
get a license to box in the state. It was supposed to be a formality.
But now commissioners say the burden will be on Tyson to prove why he
deserves a license.
(NAT VEGAS STRIP :02)
Tourism in Las Vegas was hammered after September 11th. But this fight
could pump two hundred million dollars into the local economy. The MGM
Grand was all set to host it, with the fighters getting some $20 million
dollars to meet in the ring.
(NAT HOLYFIELD FIGHT :02)
Tyson lost his license before when he bit Evander Holyfield's ear during
a fight in 1997. And when he was later asked about a possible match-up
with Lewis, Tyson threatened to eat his children. Now Las Vegas police
think there's enough evidence to charge him with raping a woman in his
Las Vegas home.
(S/U CHRIS LAWRENCE/CBS NEWS)
Tyson could still fight Lewis no matter what is decided here. If the
Nevada commission denies Tyson his license, that decision is not binding
on other states that may want the fight. Chris Lawrence CBS News Las
