	CNNSI.com - Boxing - Madrid in running for Lewis-Tyson fight, says EBU chief - Wednesday March 06, 2002 10:31 AM
		Since then Tyson, who was banned from boxing for a year in 1997 for biting off part of Evander Holyfields's ear during a fight, has been scrambling to find another venue for what could be the richest fight in boxing history.
		Tyson, 35, had been scheduled to take on Lewis in April in the boxing Mecca of Las Vegas, but the state athletic commission refused to renew the New Yorker's lapsed licence after the news conference fracas.
		The proposed heavyweight fight has had problems finding a host, being rejected by several potential venues in the U.S. because of a brawl at a Tyson-Lewis news conference in New York in January after which the Briton accused Tyson of biting him in the leg.
