LONDON (AP):
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION Lennox Lewis is planning three fights starting in March, including bouts against Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko and a rematch with Mike Tyson.
"I want my fans to know that I am intending to defend my WBC title against Vitali Klitschko on March 8, 2003," Lewis told the BBC on Sunday.
"My negotiating team has a preliminary agreement in place for that fight, as well as fights against Mike Tyson and Wladimir Klitschko in the event that I decide to continue fighting after the Vitali Klitschko fight."
Lennox, 37, expects the contract for the bout against Vitali Klitschko to be finalised within two weeks. Lewis' manager Adrian Ogun said
Friday the site and exact date will be set as soon as possible. Ogun also said promoters will meet in the next few days with representatives from HBO, which will broadcast the fight, to complete arrangements.
