THE SIDELINES : Boxer Guilty of Driving Drunk

Heavyweight boxer Mitch (Blood) Green has been convicted of drunk driving while in possession of the drug angel dust.

Green, convicted on the charges Monday in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, was convicted on similar charges in the Bronx in October, 1986. The 32-year-old prizefighter faces up to four years in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 15.

Green was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. on Dec. 30, 1988, after he rammed his pink 1979 Lincoln Continental into two parked cars,

The accident, which injured no one, occurred about a mile west of the site of a 4:30 a.m. street scuffle Green had with heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on Aug. 23, 1988, in front of Dapper Dan’s Boutique. Tyson reportedly fractured his right hand when he smashed Green in the face, opening a gash between his eyes and closing Green’s right eye.

Green filed a misdemeanor assault complaint against Tyson but dropped it after the champ promised to give him a fight if he “got his act together.”
