Lewis: I'll beat Tyson
Lennox Lewis has thrown down the gauntlet to Mike Tyson after his convincing heavyweight title defence against David Tua.
"If Tyson wants me to come and take the test, Lennox Lewis will put him to rest because Lennox Lewis is the best," Lewis said. "Right now I will take on all comers. I'm like fine wine. I get better with age."
Lewis' victims now include the best fighters of his era, except for the American, the former undisputed world champion.
Lewis' manager Frank Maloney told BBC Five Live that he believes Lewis will meet Tyson some time next year.
"It should happen, it's the fight everyone wants," Maloney said. "Lennox wants it, the boxing fans want it and deserve it, and Tyson says he wants it. There's no reason to stop it, we just have to get the TV companies to agree to it. I am sure with the amount of money involved, we can sort something out."
