Having twice lost to Riddick Bowe on disqualification for low blows,
Andrew Golota is suing Bowe and Madison Square Garden over the riot following their July heavyweight bout in New York.
Golota and his cornerman, Sam Colonna, are claiming they were injured because Bowe was negligent in supervising his employees and because the Garden failed to provide adequate security. The lawsuit is the latest stemming from the 30-minute chairswinging riot on July
11th in which 14 spectators and eight police officers were injured.
Three Brooklyn men who said they were injured filed a $4.5 million suit in July against the arena, Bowe and Bowe's manager Rock Newman.
It also emerged yesterday that Golota is being lined up as the next opponent for Lennox Lewis as the Briton makes the second defence of his World Boxing Council heavyweight title in Las Vegas on October
4th.
