Boxing promoter Murad Muhammad won a stay against sanctions imposed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and will be allowed to participate in the promotion of the Mike Tyson-Donovan Ruddock rematch Friday. Muhammad, Ruddock’s promoter, was granted the stay by the Clark County (Nev.) District Court against his one-year suspension and $25,000 fine pending a court ruling Aug. 8. The promoter was punished by the athletic commission for his role in a melee inside the ring after Ruddock’s loss to Tyson in March.
