Mike Tyson vs. Brian Nielsen
Mike Tyson vs. Brian Nielsen was a professional boxing match contested on October 13, 2001.
==Background==
Since returning to boxing in January 1999, former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson was undefeated in the five fights he had fought between 1999 and 2000, notching three knockout wins over Francois Botha, Julius Francis and Lou Savarese, and fighting two no-contests with Orlin Norris and Andrew Golota. Tyson's previous fight had come against Golota almost a year earlier on October 20, 2000. Tyson dominated Golota for two rounds before Golota decided to quit between the second and third rounds. Originally, Tyson was rewarded with a technical knockout victory, but it was later changed to a no-contest in January 2001 after a post-fight drug test revealed that Tyson had tested positive for marijuana.〔(Tyson Tests Positive For Marijuana ), NY Times article, 2001-01-19, Retrieved on 2013-08-20〕 Just days before Tyson's positive test became known to the public, he was also issued a three-month suspension by the State of Michigan, which the Nevada Athletic Commission agreed to uphold, though the suspension had little effect on Tyson's boxing schedule as he had already announced his intentions to take those three months off.〔(Michigan Suspends Tyson for 3 Months ), NY Times article, 2001-01-17, Retrieved on 2013-08-20〕 After serving the suspension, Tyson's next fight was initially going to be against David Izon in June 2001,〔(Tyson-Izon Fight Could Be in Australia ), Sports Illustrated article, 2001-03-24, Retrieved on 2013-08-20〕 but the fight was postponed as Showtime attempted to work out a mega-deal that would see Tyson face WBC and IBF Heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman in what would have been Tyson's first title shot since his controversial 1997 fight with Evander Holyfield, but Rahman would go on to have a rematch with Lennox Lewis instead.〔(Lots of Ifs, So Tyson Postpones June Bout ), NY Times article, 2001-05-09, Retrieved on 2013-08-20〕 As such, Tyson moved on from his planned match with Izon and instead agree to meet Danish fighter Brian Nielsen,〔(Tyson to face Brian Nielsen ), A.P. article, 2001-08-22, Retrieved on 2013-08-20〕 whose 62–1 record was one of the most impressive in boxing history, but a large majority of his fights had come against either little-known journeymen or former contenders who were past their prime (including former Tyson adversaries Tony Tubbs, Larry Holmes and Orlin Norris). At a press conference to promote the fight, controversy arose when Nielsen called Tyson a "abekat", a Danish word meaning "monkey cat" that was slang for someone who acts foolish, but the word was erroneously translated as "monkey man". Tyson, thinking it was a racial slur, took offense and proclaimed that the remark would "make me punish him even more than I had planned."〔(Tyson angered by alleged remark by Nielsen ), ESPN article, 2001-10-13, Retrieved on 2013-08-20〕
