Mike Tyson nervous
NZPA-AP Atlantic City, New Jersey Mike Tyson is nervous about The Truth. But that is nothing new. "You get a little jittery,” the 23-year-old heavyweight champion said yesterday. “You feel this way for your first fight and for your 101st fight.” Tyson defends his title against Carl “The Truth” Williams today (N.Z. time). The scheduled 12-round bout in Atlantic City will be Tyson’s thirty-seventh. He has a 360 record, with 32 knockouts and is a 12-1 on favourite to remain unbeaten. The 29-year-old Williams appeared relaxed at the official weigh-in yesterday at the Trump Plaza, but he was also wary. “I’m sure he’ll be aggressive early on,” Williams said of Tyson. “After that it’s my show.”
