Boxing: The Mike Tyson Derby: Who Is In The Running For July 30th?

Mike Tyson's July 30 return to the prize ring in Louisville is pretty well publicized news, yet the actual solid announcement of an opponent is not.

Until recently Kevin McBride was to be the sacrificial lamb, but in the last twenty four hours it has been brought to my attention that it is 70% not McBride for one reason or another, but Britain's Danny Williams.

Danny has lost one too many fights in the last four years to be considered serious competition. Firstly to another Tyson victim Julius Francis, before being dismantled savagely by Turkish born Sinan Samil Sam and more recently Mike Sprott on points in a very curious third meeting that saw Danny winning the first two by stoppage.

The people who are around Danny full time are convinced that the best of Danny Williams is often seen in the gym where they say he looks unbeatable.
