TYSON TO MAKE DEBUT AS ANALYST

Mike Tyson will be an analyst on the pay-per-view telecast of the five world championship fights at Caesars Palace Saturday night.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion, released from an Indiana prison March 25, will provide an analysis before each of the five fights. His comments will be taped before the show.

Tyson will be at ringside in the outdoor arena to watch Oliver McCall defend his WBC heavyweight title against Larry Holmes and Tony Tucker fight Bruce Seldon for the vacant WBA heavyweight title.

The five title fights, one of which features WBC super lightweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez, are being promoted by Don King, who is promoting Tyson's comeback.
