Causes brawl to break out on stage
NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis finally
went at it Tuesday — at a news conference, not in a ring.
Tyson charged the WBC and IBF heavyweight champion
right after the start of a conference called to announce their April
6 bout, and a brawl broke out on stage at the Hudson Theater.
Neither fighter hit the other, but Tyson had a cut on his hair
line after the swarm of bodies was pulled apart.
WBC president Jose Sulaiman was knocked down during
the melee.
The news conference for Lewis' defense of his two belts
against Tyson in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was called off.
Lewis scheduled a meeting with reporters later Tuesday. Tyson
left the building.
The scene recalled when Lewis and Hasim Rahman
exchanged words and chest bumps before wrestling on the
floor during a TV interview in August. That was 2 1/2 months
before Lewis knocked out Rahman in a rematch to regain the
heavyweight title.
On Tuesday, after video highlights of the two fighters'
careers were shown, Tyson was introduced first.
He walked onstage dressed entirely in black, then faced the
wing of the stage from which Lewis was to enter. When Lewis,
dressed in a gray suit, stepped onto the stage. Tyson rushed him.
People jumped in to keep them apart and it appeared at
least one person was hit by a punch. Then, for several min
utes, bodies were rolling around and throwing punches until
order was restored.
Tyson then strode to the front of the stage, threw his arms
into the air in a triumphant stance and made an obscene gesture.
Someone in the audience shouted, "Put him in a straitjacket!”
The former undisputed heavyweight champion screamed an
obscenity at the man and said, “You're scared of a real man.”

be limited to working only a
few hours on the project. In the
survey, more than 5,000 stu
dents indicated they would like
to work on Bonfire.
Student reluctance to foot the
bill for Bonfire could be a stum
bling block to continuing the
tradition. Cole said. If Bonfire
bums next fall, the final price
tag could be as much as $2 mil
lion. However, many of those
costs are one-time expenses,
such as professional fees to craft
a stack design and future
Bonfires could be built for
between $500,000 to $750,000.
Cole said. But more than 60 per
cent of respondents said the
price was too steep.
Cole said a $20 per semester
fee would fully fund Bonfire, but
only 30 percent of the students
said they would be willing to
pay that much.
“There’s potential for a fund
ing problem,” Cole said. “Its
unrealistic to suggest that former
students should pay for this.”
The profile of the students
who took the survey also indi

is the strongest. Respondents
