Boxing: Tyson in strife again

A bodyguard for boxing promoter Don King is suing Mike Tyson, accusing the former heavyweight champion of punching him twice and breaking a bone in his face.

According to the lawsuit, filed in Florida, Isadore "Izzy" Bolton, 44, was in a car escorting Tyson and the boxer's entourage on May 3 when he realised Tyson's car was no longer following his.

He went back and found Tyson standing in the median barrier of the busy interstate and asked staff to get the boxer back in his car.

Tyson, 37, eventually jumped down from the barrier and punched Bolton in the face and tried to drag him out of the car by his feet.

Bolton was left with a broken bone above his left eye. He had to get several stitches and now has double vision.
