 Lewis gives Tyson until end of year for showdown

LONDON (AP) --

Lennox Lewis, the WBC and IBF champion, is giving Mike Tyson until the end of the year to agree to a heavyweight showdown.

Lewis' next title defense is scheduled for April 21. With no deal yet for a Tyson fight, he is considering David Izon and Hasim Rahman as possible opponents. Lewis said he believes Tyson, the former undisputed champion, is running scared.

"This is the only logical assumption," he was quoted as saying Thursday in the Daily Express. "The door has been open for him all this time and still he chooses not to walk through." "He is waiting for me to retire, to give up the belts I worked so hard to claim as mine, to announce a comeback and to win back the title that way.

It is the only possible way he could possibly reclaim those belts." Lewis said he'll give Tyson until Jan. 1 to commit to a fight. "I don't want to hang around forever," he said. "It's all up to him." Negotiations for a Lewis-Tyson fight are complicated by the fact that both fighters are under contract with rival television companies.

On Tuesday, state regulators suspended Tyson's Michigan boxing license for 90 days and fined him $5,000 for refusing to submit to a urine test before his Oct. 20 victory over Andrew Golota. Tyson tested positive for marijuana after the bout, according to news reports Wednesday.
