LONDON -- World heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis says Mike Tyson is scared of him and there is no chance of a rematch between the pair.

"I won't ever fight Tyson again," Lewis told British newspapers on Thursday from his training camp in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania.

"That's over. He's seriously scared of me and his time has passed," added the Briton, who will fight for the first time in more than a year when he takes on Canadian Kirk Johnson, 30, in Los Angeles on June 21.

"He (Tyson) must have had bad dreams about the beating I gave him in Memphis last June."

The World Boxing Council may not sanction the fight with Johnson due to objections from German-based Ukrainian Vitali Klitschko, who believes he should be Lewis's opponent.

Lewis said he had banished thoughts of quitting the ring and believed he had two or three more meaningful fights left in him.

"I have been having thoughts about retirement," he told British newspapers. "A lot of different things happened to me in my year out of the ring.

"It wasn't until a few months ago that I really said 'You know what? I'm going back in there'.

"It struck me that there were two or three fights still out there for me and still within me.

"Most definitely I've been thinking about retiring on a last big super-fight -- it could be Vitali Klitschko or Roy Jones."

Probably both..

Klitschko just to get it done, and hush the critics who say he is ducking him.

Jones for the massive payday.

IF Jones even wants the fight. I think Jones knows that is a fight that not only poses a serious health risk..lol But, also one he has a very slim chance of winning.

Lewis has way too much reach for Jones to be able to be effective, imo. And, he is still quick enough to keep Jones close.

I actually think the latest Tyson thing is just Lewis trying to bait Tyson into speeding things up. I think he knows calling him out might help get some of the bullshit cleared out quicker.

Uncle B:

I've seen Klitschko fight in person. He's got no shot - WHATSOEVER, in the speed or defensive skills departments.

I agree 100%

Thats the main reason i expect Lewis to take the fight..lol
I don't think Klitschko has a chance in Hell of beating Lewis.

Fight Klit, (hehe) would definitely be a waste of time, On the other hand, a fight with Roy, WILL bring in $$$ for both them, so would a fight with minute man tyson, his fights only last a few minutes anyway, vegas would book it only as a courtesy, and those who pay a couple of thousand for ring side should send me the cash instead,
imo, boxing has lost its pizazz, you know who's gonna win, its probably better to book WWF instead, but when that starts .......can you imagine the amount a guys trying to "payoff" these wrestlers, lol,


Hey uncle B. what do you think about some boxers, promoting offshore sportsbooks, I've seen one or two carrying URL's on shorts, their body etc.

Man, it seems to be every 3 or 4 fights lately..

"GoldenPalaceCasino.com" Seems to be biggest one doing it, and they don't even have a sportsbook that i know of, just an online casino..lol

Anyways, what do i think of it?
I think it's tacky as hell having it painted on their backs, but, you can't help but notice it, and, after a few rounds, it is definitely stuck in your head..lol

A lot of the up and comming fighters barely make enough cash to pay the bills, and most have to keep other jobs while training, et. so, i can't say i blame them for doing it.

As far as the promoting Offshores part of it, i think it's great.
Anything that promotes Offshore Gambling, besides CourtTV, is good for the industry, imo.
