Mike Tyson vs. Francois Botha
Mike Tyson vs. Francois Botha was a professional boxing match contested on January 16, 1999.
==Background==
After Tyson's controversial fight with Evander Holyfield on June 28, 1997 which saw Tyson get disqualified in the third round after twice biting Holyfield's ears, the Nevada Athletic Commission fined Tyson $3 million and revoked his boxing license.〔(Tyson's License Revoked ), CNN article, 1997-07-09, Retrieved on 2013-05-20〕 Tyson's ban would ultimately last a total of 15 months and 10 days with it finally ending after a five-man committee voted in favor of reinstating Tyson by a vote of 4–1 on October 18, 1998.〔(Tyson regains Nevada license Commission reinstates ex-champ by 4-1 vote ), Baltimore Sun article, 1998-10-20, Retrieved on 2013-05-20〕 After much speculation over who Tyson would face in his return bout, it was officially announced that Tyson would face former IBF Heavyweight champion Francois Botha on January 16, 1999.〔(Tyson, Botha eye January showdown ), Athens Banner-Herald article, 1998-12-08, Retrieved on 2013-05-20〕 Despite his long layoff, Tyson was forthright about his chances of collecting a victory over Botha by way of knockout. On one occasion, Tyson stated "I am going right at him and I expect him to go down cold. I expect him to die." The comment would cause some controversy, with some in the boxing world claiming that Tyson had gone too far.〔(Fury at Tyson's "Botha to Die" ), The Independent article, 1999-01-07, Retrieved on 2013-05-20〕 Botha also was confident that he could defeat Tyson, claiming that he would earn the victory by way of "seventh round knockout".〔(Botha confident about upcoming Tyson fight ), Las Vegas Sun article, 1998-12-24, Retrieved on 2013-05-20〕
