Tyson once again had the opportunity to fight for a heavyweight championship in 2002. Lennox Lewis held the WBC, IBF, IBO and Lineal titles at the time. As promising fighters, Tyson and Lewis had sparred at a training camp in a meeting arranged by Cus D’Amato in 1984. Tyson sought to fight Lewis in Nevada for a more lucrative box-office venue, but the Nevada Boxing Commission refused him a license to box as he was facing possible sexual assault charges at the time.
Aufgrund seines äußerst unsportlichen Verhaltens im letzten Kampf gegen Holyfield wurde Tyson Anfang Juli auf Beschluss der Sportkommission des US-Bundesstaates Nevada die Box-Lizenz auf unbestimmte Zeit entzogen.

Unmittelbar nach Bekanntwerden des Urteils kündigte das MGM-Grand Hotel den Vertrag mit Tyson, da dieser bis dato erst fünf der vereinbarten sechs Kämpfe im MGM absolviert hatte. Obwohl der Stichtermin erst im Juli 1998 veranschlagt war, stand schon jetzt fest, dass Tyson seine Seite des Vertrages nicht mehr erfüllen konnte, da er frühestens zu diesem Zeitpunkt erst eine neue Lizenz beantragen durfte.

“Don King is a hip exploiter, an intelligent flesh peddler,” wrote Jack Newfield. “He knows which fighters to steal, how to exploit anyone’s vice, vanity or insecurity and make a profit for himself.” The young Don King was a a petty criminal involved in gambling and a ‘numbers racket’ in his home city of Cleveland.
