Boxing: Lewis after Tyson

World heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis wants to fight Mike Tyson ahead of his proposed defence against New Zealander David Tua in this November.

"I am willing to sidestep Tua and box Tyson straight away," Lewis said from his training camp in the United States.

"The Tua fight does not really matter to me."

His comments came after some tasteless words about his family from Tyson.
