EVENING STANDARD WEDNESDAY 17 JULY 1991- 63 SPORT Another big shot Holyfield Foreman sued by for $100m GEORGE FOREMAN and promoter Bob Arum today filed a $100 million law suit against Evander Holy-field and his advisors seeking to prevent the heavyweight champion from fighting Mike Tyson in his next defence The suit filed in state district court claimed that Holyfield his promoter Dan Duva and adviser Shelly Arum alleges that Foreman was guaranteed around £7million plus 50 of the gate over £4million for the rematch in Las Vegas Holyfield successfully defended his title against the 42-year-old Foreman on 19 April by winning a unanimous 12-round decision Holyfield and former champion Tyson signed last week to fight in Las Vegas Finkel broke a contract that would have set up a November re-match between Foreman and Holyfield when they signed instead for an 8 November bout against plans lor i NEIL ALLEN reports vrfv NIGEL BENN is being offered the chance to regain his world middleweight title without meeting his conqueror Chris Eubank Tickets will be on sale at the Spurs ground from Saturday morning for return match with Michael Watson now scheduled by promoter Barry Hearn for Tyson The suit charged that the defendants false representations" so they could use Foreman lever age to obtain more favourable terms with cut out with this all-British series" The controversial 12 rounds points victory by Eubank over Watson at Earls Court last month when I made Eubank winner by a round but would not have quarrelled with a draw makes the return bout seem certain to be a big money spinner UniTB3AIIIUnCM SUN is feu: more important than any title Their last meeting was sold public demand1 and even more true this time if Nigel agrees to my plan then I would hope to put his middleweight title fight the White Hart Lane ground against Mcfilrilan on in cen-on 21 September tral London in October But Hearn is also hoping would very much fancy that Benn arguably the most Nigel to beat McClellan if exciting fighter in Britain so then he could move for-will agree to meet American ward to meet the Eubank-Gerald McClellan for the Watson winner again at World Boxing Organisation Spurs in June next year" i Hearn plans to sell all 35000 tickets available for the fight 9000 less than the Bruno Bugner heavyweight match at White Hart Lane in 1987 because of ground safety requirements Hearn who had a sell-out at Earls Court last month even though the fight was shown live on TV adds: expect that this time on one of the biggest nights of the whole London sporting year the revenue will be in excess of £2 28 JUIY- middleweight title recently vacated by Eubank and Michael have got their own world title fight" points out Hearn on 21 September they will be boxing

said Brussels looks like being my only trip overseas this year" she added wistfully perhaps recalling how her father in between his police duties travelled the world during the 70s just got to be a bit more positive in your competitive replied Geoff who is presently restricted to promoting rather than taking part in strong man events because of a muscle tear in the middle of his chest Over in Colorado 20-year-old son Lewis is making an impact in university helped by being 6ft 6in tall and weighing 22st 61b Lewis is really doing well in American said the proud parent what most pleased about is that in school got plus honours and brain is the best Hearn tells me that he is no longer promotionally involved in the British and European heavyweight fight between Lennox Lewis and Glenn McCrary which has been pencilled in for 23 Sep-super-middleweight belt left tember at the Royal Albert vacant by the move of HalL Tommy Hearns up to light- been involved heavyweight with Lewis and his people

rings one Olympic-sized and the other 16ft inside the ropes plus what he joyftilly describes as different pieces of hitting equipment" Attached to what was formerly the Crystal Palace indoor cricket school area Irwin has an equipment storage room and an office in which he can plan his many national courses at the centre boxing has been ver the you in decline over admits Irwin consider that about
