Bookies cut odds on Mike Tyson being disqualified

LONDON - An English bookmaker has taken more bets on Mike Tyson being disqualified if he fights Lennox Lewis than for either heavyweight to win the fight. <br> <br> The bookmaker William Hill cut the odds Wednesday on a Tyson disqualification from 6-1 to 4-1. William Hill has Lewis at 4-9 to win the fight and Tyson at 13-8. <br> <br> &#34;Those punters who are prepared to bet on the fight at this time are choosing to bet on a disqualification rather than one or the other winning,&#34; spokesman Graham Shapre said. <br> <br> The future of the fight was thrown into doubt Tuesday when a brawl broke out as Tyson and Lewis exchanged punches during a news conference in New York to announce the April 6 title fight in Las Vegas. <br> <br> Tyson is awaiting a license to fight in Nevada and must explain to boxing authorities there next week why he went after Lewis. Also, Las Vegas police said they found evidence supporting a woman&#39;s claim she was raped by Tyson. <br> <br> <br>
