There will be no summer return to the boxing ring for Mike Tyson - even if Nevada officials give him back the licence they revoked for biting Evander Holyfield's ear.

Tyson can apply for reinstatement on July 9th, the first anniversary of his ban by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

But Jeff Wald, who has been advising the former heavyweight champion since his split with promoter Don King, said a November date would probably be the earliest Tyson could fight again because of time needed to train and put together a fight.
