Page 4 • The Battalion Wednesday • July 12,1995 ■■■■■■■■Mi Foreman says he wants Tyson □ The heavyweight champion wants to fight the former champ in the next year. JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — George Foreman wants a shot at Mike Tyson, but says such a bout will literally be out of reach by next year. “I intend next summer for my stomach to be so big that the only punch I could land on Mike Tyson is going to be a belly bump,” Foreman said. “I lost a lot of weight (to fight) and I intend to get my weight back.” The robust 46-year-old for mer champion, during a stop Tuesday at a bookstore to pro mote his autobiography, said repeatedly that 1995 is his last year in the ring. Foreman said he waited around for a shot at Tyson, who in 1986 became the WBC’s youngest heavyweight champion at age 20. Tyson is now preparing for a comeback after his two-year prison term on rape charges, but Foreman apparently isn’t in his plans. “Mike. Tyson is supposed to be the toughest man on the planet,” Foreman said. “He said he would get out of jail one day and whip me the next. He got out of jail and started hiding from me.” The world’s oldest heavy weight champion said box ing is no longer a challenge and that it’s time to get out because “the toughest guys in the planet are hiding” from him.

Austin residents are trying to force a voter referendum on wnether the city should fund part of a $22 mil lion minor-league baseball stadium, City leaders have already decided to pay $10 million for the stadium, but as of Monday about 5,000 area residents had signed a petition to take the issue before voters. A group called Save Austin From Extravagance, which is leading the petition drive, must collect abow 1 5,000 voter signatures by Sept. Ito block the city's plans to issue bond: for stadium's construction. A vole could then come as early as Nov ? city officials say. “Conservatives who sign the pel tion are saying that the city shouidn'! spend that money on a baseball sla dium, and the liberals are tellingos that the city should spend it on some thing different like health and huma - services," said Bob Larson, a SAfS founder who served on the Auslit City Council from 1 990 to 1993. Emotional Blades describes cousins death □ The Seattle Sea- hawks' wide receiver was in the room when his cousin was shot. PLANTATION, Fla. (AP) — In an emotional news confer ence today, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brian Blades said the fatal shooting of his cousin Charles was an accident. “Neither Charles nor I thought Charles would be shot,” he said, his voice break ing as he added, “I loved Charles and he loved me.” It was Blades’ first public appearance since the July 5 shooting, though he had said previously, through his agent, that his cousin’s death was an accident. Blades said he would join his teammates soon. Training camp begins this month. He praised police investi gating the death, though he has yet to meet with them. Blades did not take ques tions after the news confer ence, and a number of ques tions remain unanswered. While he said He owned the gun that fired the fatal round, he did not say who was hold ing the weapon when Charles was shot. He also did not dis cuss circumstances surround ing the shooting. Another question was raised Monday when polict said two shots, not just one were fired. Plantation police Sgt Michael Price said Monda; that one bullet entered 31 year-old Charles Blades’ heat below his chin and continues upward, killing him. Police found a second bullet lodges in a wall of the room the cousins were in. “It’s nearly impossible in an accident situation for a gun to go off twice. Price said. “So it brings os new concerns.” Blades has refused to tall to police, canceling two sched uled interviews with invest! gators because his agent said he was too upset. His agent. Dm Rosenhaus, said Mon day the player still was distraught. “I don't think there’s any differ ence of one or two acci dental shots, an accident is an accident,” Rosenhaus said. Police have confirmed that the .380 caliber gun belonged to Brian Blades. Two frantic telephone calls to 911, one from Brian and one from a friend, shed little light on what might have happened. Sobbing, Brian Blades told the dispatcher, “I went down to stop my brother from, uh, fighting his girl, and the gun went off and shot my cousin.” Police believe the player was referring to the former girlfriend of Brian Blades brother, Bennie.
