Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson are ready to go head to head this year - not once but twice according to Jerome Anderson, who is negotiating on WBC, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion Lewis' behalf. Lewis and Tyson are due to appear at a news conference on Tuesday in New York with the title date pencilled in for April 6 in Las Vegas but they could meet again in October.
"A re-match clause is already written into the contract," Anderson told Radio 5 Live. "There will be more details on Tuesday but obviously it makes sense for a re-match from a business and a sporting sense. It is fair to say this will be the biggest fight income of all time. The figures will be high."
"It is a very exciting time and we are delighted as it looks as though it's coming around. The date of April 6 is not set in stone. There is still some negotiating to be done on the venue but obviously it will be in America."
