Etienne on Saturday, Feb. 22.

camp decided to call off the fight. Tyson’s management decided to pull the plug

on the fight yesterday, when Tyson missed a flight to Memphis two days in a

row.

"He woke up today and called and said, ‘I

want to do it,"’ Tyson’s manager Shelly Finkel said. "He’s leaving

today."

Officials said that Tyson was too sick to fight.

According to sources, the boxer had an allergic reaction to a large tattoo he

received on the left side of his face.

According to reports, Tyson has not trained in

over a week.

Showtime has been promoting the fight utilizing

rap superstar Jay-Z, who is to give a concert before Tyson hits the ring.

In related Jay-Z news, the rapper will be featured

in Heineken USA’s latest commercial, which will air during this years Grammy

Awards telecast.
