Tyson publicist denies fight claim

The promoters of a proposed Mike Tyson bout in Malaysia have claimed he will fight in Kuala Lumpur - despite Tyson's publicist claiming no knowledge of the event. Local newspapers have reported plans to stage a fight between Tyson and WBC and IBF champion Lennox Lewis.

Promoters Promote Classic said of the proposed March 11 fight: "The fight is still on between Tyson and an unidentified contender. We have a letter of intent from Mike Tyson and are now going after (Lennox) Lewis," he added

But Tyson's spokesman, Adam Grant says he is unaware of any impending plans for the heavyweight to fight in Malaysia.

"If Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis were fighting each other, the world would know about it," Grant was quoted as saying by a Singaporean web-based newspaper.

Grant said Tyson had not signed to fight anyone, let alone Lewis.
