Mike Tyson is reportedly ready to link up with his former promoter Don King in an attempt to engineer a rematch with Lennox Lewis.
Tyson and King fell out two years ago following the fighter’s disqualification for biting Evander Holyfield’s ear.
But, according to the magazine Boxing News, King has persuaded Tyson to return to the fold and drop a $100m lawsuit against him.
Tyson could even be back with King by the time of his next fight on Lewis’ undercard, which is set for 21 June against Oleg Maskaev of Kazakhstan.
Tyson has earned more than £200m in the ring but still has financial problems, and his drawing power has waned since losing to Lewis last June.

The only way to make serious money in the boxing world is to hook up with Don King. Smart move by tyson if he wants to earn £££

I disagree, eventhough Don King is a huge money maker but Tyson doesn't need anyone but himself to show up at a place to make money. He is a crowd puller. No matter who he boxes, people will come to see him. Same can not be said about anything other boxer.

Good point Umair, but Don King maximises the money that can be earned. Sure tyson has the power to pull, but don has the brains, the ideas to do the same. If you combine the two then we can be sure there are always gona be mega bucks to box for,.
