Tyson-Golota surface in LA!
Andrew Golota predicted victory and said "I can't afford any more losing." When asked by Fightnews.com if he's making special preparations for dirty tactics by Mike Tyson, Golota said, it happens all the time and he's ready for it. Golota's prediction: "I don't care if it goes one round or ten rounds." The only member of Team Tyson present at that point was Stacy McKinley, who proceeded to talk about Tyson killing Golota. Golota told McKinley, "Just make sure your guy shows up," and then Golota, Gary Shaw, Al Certo and Dan Milan walked out!
Mike Tyson arrived shortly after and was annoyed that Golota had left. Iron Mike, who said he was "on some medication that makes me slur," made a series of bizarre profanity-laced statements to the media. He spoke about killing Golota or anyone else who enters the ring with him. When asked if he regrets his remarks about eating Lennox Lewis' children, Iron Mike said he didn't and added a new message for Lennox' kids. "F*** 'em." Later Mike said he would "kick Lewis' mother-f***ing a**...and if Lewis tries to intimidate him again, he'll "put a bullet in his f***** skull."

The Polish Tabloid, "Super Express" is reporting that the Mike Tyson and Andrew Golota camp have agreed to meet on November 18th on Showtime.

The bout was highly talked about before, but it needed consent from one person, Mike Tyson. The most likely place for the bout will be in Hong Kong, China, reportedly because it is thought that Tyson may have difficulty obtaining a license in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. The pay-per-view bout would take place at 11AM in Hong Kong and 11PM in the US (EST).
