Lennox Lewis' knockout o f
Hasim Rahman could set up
a major match for Lewis
against Mike Tyson.
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Lennox
Lewis has his championship belts
back. Now he wants Mike Tyson.
“Since the Evander Holyfield
fight (in 1999) I’ve been waiting
for Tyson,” Lewis said Sunday
after regaining the W B C -IB F
heavyweight titles on a fourth-
round knockout of Hasim Rahman.
The 36-year-old Lewis might
not have to wait much longer.
Tyson congratulated Lewis for
recapturing the title.
M aking it happen probably
would be easier without Don King,
who promoted Saturday night’s
rematch at Mandalay Bay.
Rahman has a multifight deal
with King, but Lewis had a con­
tract with the promoter only for
Saturday’s match.
Lewis called King “a truly great
promoter,” but Tyson has said he
would not fight again for King. He
and King are suing one another.
In
b o x in g ,
h o w e v e r,
yesterday’s enemies are today’s

megabucks are involved.
The 35-year-old T y so n , a
former undisputed champion, is
expected to fight Ray M ercer on
Jan. 19 at a site to be determined.
The m atch has not been an ­
nounced officially.
John Ruiz is the W BA heavy­
weight champion, and will defend
his title in a third bout against
Holyfield on Dec. 5 at Foxwoods
Resort Casino at Ledyard, Conn.
Lewis had become undisputed
c h a m p io n by o u tp o in tin g
Holyfield, but was stripped by the
WBA for not giving Holyfield a
rematch.
A Tyson fight would be a man­
datory W BC title defense for
Lewis.
Lewis appeared headed for a
Tyson bout when he was upset
by Rahman on a one-punch knock­
out in the fifth round April 22 in
South Africa.
Lewis admittedly took Rahman
too lightly in that fight. Not this
time.
“He couldn’t handle my move­
ment,” Lewis said. “I gave him
different looks.”
Rahman ’ s championship reign
of 209 days was the shortest in
heavyweight history — four days
shorter than that of Leon Spinks,
who won and lost in fights with
Muhammad Ali in 1978.
“He had his 15 minutes of
glory,” Lewis said. “The titles were
on loan. They’re now back with
me.”
“T hat’s three times, baby,”
Lewis shouted after becoming the
third man to win at least a share of
the heavyweight championship
three times. The others were Ali
and Holyfield.
The fight will be rebroadcast
on HBO Nov. 24, at 10 p.m. EST
and PST.

O regon State scored five touchdow ns and a field goal in
a game that appeared to be a route before N orthern
A rizona recovered a fum ble for a touchdow n. Oregon
State led 31-0 at halftim e o f a game that was m ostly an
appreciation day for O SU ’ s seniors. If not for two fumbles,
the Beavers probably w ould have had a shutout Satur­
day against N orthern A rizona w hich the Beavers won
