Bank thwarts Lewis-Tyson!
The heavyweight title super fight between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson is reportedly in jeopardy. Representatives of the Tyson and Lewis camps have cancelled a trip to Memphis Friday to announce the fight after First Tennessee Bank refused to issue a letter of credit for the $12.5 million site fee on "moral issues," according to Associated Press. Promoters will seek to do business with another bank today. The report also states that Washington D.C. and Detroit have been eliminated from consideration and quotes an unnamed source as saying today is when the fight "makes or breaks."
