Na Bitte, Lewis erklärt sich
Interview mit Lennox Lewis auf fightnews.com
Lewis mum on alleged Tyson bite!
01-27-2002
By Matt Richardson
After refusing to talk about the actions of Mike Tyson all week, heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis finally broke the silence last night. Sort of.
Lewis didn't want to answer too many questions about the ruckus caused by Tyson on Tuesday in New York City and would not confirm or deny rumors that he was bit by Mike Tyson or someone else during Tuesday's melee in New York City. "I can't say anything right now until Wednesday," he said. However, he doesn't think Tyson will have trouble getting re-licensed in Nevada. "I think he'll get his license." Doesn't he think it hurts boxing for Tyson to get his license like that? "No, I don't think so," he said. "Definitely not in the pocket."
In an earlier TV interview with HBO's Larry Merchant, Lewis said that he still wants the fight to happen. "I definitely want the fight to go on. In a sense that that's the biggest fight out there for me right now," Lewis said. "I've been waiting for it since the Holyfield fight. It will be a disappointment if it doesn't go on because the public wants to see this fight." Still, Lewis was evasive when it came to discussing what he thinks should happen. "I'm not saying anything until Wednesday," he told Merchant. "And the truth will be known on Wednesday." There were rumors circulating last night that there are actual pictures of bite marks on Lewis' upper thigh. Tyson supposedly bit Lewis during their scuffle. Lewis would neither confirm nor deny this. However, Lewis did tell Fightnews that if he beats Tyson, he would retire.
If the Tyson fight doesn't come off, Lewis says he can wind up fighting one of the other contenders. "Well there are three possible guys out there, so I'll take the first one. (Chris) Byrd's name has come up. (Wladimir) Klitschko is another one."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ist doch mal eine klare Aussage. Wenn Lewis gegen Tyson kämpft, dann ist danach (evtl. Rückkampf) das Ende der Karriere gekommen.
Ansonsten wird es Byrd, wenn er gerichtlich dazu verpflichtet ist oder wohl Wladimir Klitschko.
Wäre doch was.
