Your support makes all the difference.Mike Tyson's doctor has given the heavyweight clearance to resume contact training in preparation for his rematch against Evander Holyfield on 28 June.
The title bout, scheduled for 3 May, was postponed when Tyson reopened a cut over his left eye sustained in his loss to Holyfield. It was the second time Tyson had postponed a fight with Holyfield, and the latest in a string of delays for the former champion. Bruised ribs forced Tyson to pull out of a date with Holyfield in 1991, and bronchitis prevented him from facing Bruce Seldon last July.
The former heavyweight champion, Riddick Bowe, and his sister were reconciled yesterday after a weekend dispute in which both reportedly suffered split lips. Bowe and his sister, Velma Melton, said in a statement that they "remain loving and supportive of each other".
