Description

Mike Tyson has been fined a record £125,000 sterling by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) – but he will be allowed to fight again in Britain. The former undisputed world heavyweight champion was found guilty of misconduct after continuing to swing punches even though referee John Coyle had stopped the fight against stricken Lou Savarese at Hampden Park, Glasgow, in June.
