Nothing is definite for a bout between heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson, the former champion and top-rated challenger, but both camps are confident the big-money fight will be staged this year.

Wednesday, promoter Don King postponed Tyson’s rematch with Donovan (Razor) Ruddock, scheduled for June 28, ostensibly because Ruddock withdrew to allow Tyson to pursue a fight with Holyfield. Ruddock’s manager, Murad Muhammad, said Thursday that the real reason for his fighter’s withdrawal was Muhammad’s one-year suspension by the Nevada boxing commission.
