Two years prior to the bout, Tyson had made several inflammatory remarks to Lewis in an interview following the Savarese fight. The remarks included the statement “I want your heart, I want to eat your children.” On January 22, 2002, the two boxers and their entourages were involved in a brawl at a New York press conference to publicize the planned event. A few weeks later, the Nevada State Athletic Commission refused to grant Tyson a license for the fight, and the promoters had to make alternative arrangements. After multiple states balked at granting Tyson a license, the fight eventually occurred on June 8 division champion in boxing at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee. Lewis dominated the fight and knocked out Tyson with a right hand in the eighth round. Tyson was respectful after the fight and praised Lewis on his victory. This fight was the highest-grossing event in pay-per-view history at that time, generating $106.9 million from 1.95 million buys in the US.
“This is a massive win for Israil, for Matchroom,” said Madrimov’s promoter, Eddie Hearn. “They talk about he’s a young Gennadiy Golovkin. … Undisputed at 154 is the plan. Terence Crawford, Tim Tszyu. … He’s coming for all the belts in the division.”
In his fifth professional fight, Hrgović was scheduled to fight the undefeated Mexican heavyweight Filiberto Tovar. It was the first time in Hrgović’s career that he was scheduled to fight a ten-round bout.

Round 4: Joyce staying busy, staying busy. The creeping back into it he did in round three continues in round four, and in the first minute Zhang isn’t throwing back much at all. Joyce circling to Zhang’s right. Zhang with a left, but not as much on that one as some of the others, and just one shot. Joyce digging here and there to the body. Zhang with two straight lefts. Another one, that one had zip on it. Joyce back with a clubbing left hook. Another left from Zhang pops Joyce’s head back. And there’s a right hook. And again, now, Zhang is landing the clearly harder shots, more telling, and Joyce is peppering away. Zhang 10-9, 40-36.
