Green Drops Assault Charges Against Tyson
Boxer Mitchell Green dropped assault charges against heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in New York Thursday.

Green, a boxer who lost in the ring to Tyson two years ago, had told police that Tyson hit him during a pre-dawn scuffle Tuesday outside a Harlem haberdashery.
