I thought it was quite funny that a website is dedicated for this fight. The site doesn't say much to be honest - Basically says that the fight is on and where to get tickets.

However, one quote from Danny made me chuckle "I want what he's got" - Danny's says refering to Tyson, but what has Tyson got - he aint got a belt and Danny's got a better bank balance.

BTW, nice fight poster you see it when you go to the site. If someone knows how to - put it on here.

The tag line is...

"Return for Revenge"

what the hell is that about?

Neil, is a Lennox Lewis return on the cards? Cause that is the only thing the tag line can mean. Not unless the winner is set to fight Holyfield.

I wonder if the promoter has a big future in the game, I've never heard of him before - getting Tyson in your first major fight is a massive coup - remind you of someone 30 years ago?

maybe Danny sees this Tyson as a stepping stone to revenge angainst Julius Francis!

Well done stu on spotting my deliberate mistake. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice!!

it was Sam i was actually thinking of!!

Boy, Tyson really does look old, for a black guy of his age he looks fornicating ancient...

Great fight poster though, i like the background bit which looks like they are two genies.

I dont think Tyson looks that old. He's 38 now you know. He looks old compared to the guy that beat Berbick in 86.

Why dont you compare Lennox Lewis now to the guy that beat Bowe in the 88 final.

I think that would be a good comparison

Yeah, that is the cheesiest billing I've ever read.

I know quite a few 38 year old guys, especially black guys, who look a hell of a lot younger than Tyson. He looks kind of withered to me.

Apparently, he's got 'cottage-cheese' on the backs of his legs, according to Gary Randall of maxboxing, cellulite at his age!

All this talk of him being in the best shape for years is bullshite, it's exactly what we heard last time. Read the report on max, he is apparently looking great for 1 round of sparring, and the back to 1-punch bombing again.

James, I heard on another site (can't recall which one, probably fightnews) that the day Tyson was doing interviews - Tyson suffered back spasms on the fourth round of boxing. However, the site said untill the spasms he was looking good.

At 38, Tyson's stamina is unproven at 16 stone (or whatever he'll be). I think it is clear just how bad shape he was in for Lewis and Neilson when he came in at fighting weight after just 2 and a 1/2 weeks training for Etteine. So if Tyson is heavy, Williams should be careful for the opening few rounds and let Tyson punch himself out - he could upset the Tyson that lost to Lewis.
