BOXING Lewis, Tyson ready to fight, await terms NEW YORK — Mike Tyson received terms from Lennox Lewis yesterday for a fight this summer, in which Lewis would get half the purse. "It's a joke, the whole thing." Shelly Finkel, Tyson's adviser, said of Lewis' terms. "They're looking for Mike to get out of his (Showtime) deal, which he can't get out of. Mike and Showtime are ready to sit down and begin negotiations for an agreement to make this fight happen as soon as possible." According to Lewis, who has a contract with HBO, his business manager, Adrian Ogun, talked with Finkel in New York last week. "Mike wants us to share purses on a 50-basis," Lewis said. "I am prepared to do that provided the live pay-per-view for the fight is on my network, HBO/TVKO, and that Mike compensates his network, Showtime, out of his 50 percent of the purse." Finkel confirmed he had met with Ogun and told him "not only does Mike want to fight Lewis, he wants to fight him now." The Associated Press NASCAR has plans to honor Earnhardt CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt was buried in his hometown yesterday in a private service, as his team prepared to return his car to the track. The Associated Press Earnhardt was buried in Kannapolis with only immediate family members attending, an Earnhardt company employee said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The exact location was not disclosed. A memorial service for the seventime Winston Cup champion is planned for today in Charlotte and will be televised live on Fox Sports Net. Earnhardt, 49, was killed Sunday on the last turn of the last lap in the Daytona 500. He slammed into the concrete wall after making contact with Sterling Marlin at the head of a tight pack of five cars fighting for position. While his family said goodbye, his team at Richard Childress Racing was planning to enter his car in Sunday's Dura-Lube 400 at North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham. Kevin Harvick, a Busch Grand National driver for Richard Childress Racing, will race Earnhardt's car for the rest of the season, a team source said, also speaking on condition of anonymity. Harvick, the Busch Series' Rookie of the Year last season, will drive Earnhardt's Chevrolet and use his crew. Kevin Hamlin, Earnhardt's crew chief, will head Harvick's team. The car will not use the No. 3 or the black-and-silver scheme that was Earnhardt's trademark. Details of the number and colors Harvick will use were still being worked out, the team source said. Meanwhile, NASCAR and the rest of the Winston Cup teams are still working out how to honor Earnhardt this weekend by creating a decal for all Winston Cup teams to use. John McKenzie, president of Motorsports Design in High Point, said he had submitted five designs to Teresa Earnhardt, Dale's widow, and Richard Childress Racing, and was awaiting final approval. "It will be commemorative decal produced by their authority, on their approval, and distributed by RCR to the racing community only." McKenzie said. He said the designs had "the components that represented Dale Earnhardt and everything that is synonymous with him." A spokesman for Joe Gibbs Racing said drivers Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart wanted to honor Earnhardt but were waiting to see what developed with the decals. "We've talked about and I'm sure all the teams want to honor him in some way," Tim Sullivan said. "We're just waiting to see what the appropriate way to do that is." NASCAR said it would not require the Winston Cup teams to do anything to honor Earnhardt. "We are in the discussion stage of trying to put something together as a tribute that is consistent with what DEI and RCR would want," said spokeswoman Danielle Humphrey. Others have their own ideas. Driver Ward Burton suggested painting the pace car black and adding the No. 3 to it. Tommy Baldwin, his crew chief, said he liked the idea of leaving the first stall in the garage empty all season. The first stall traditionally goes to the reigning Winston Cup champion. Baldwin also urged NASCAR to retire the No. 3. "I know it is not something that NASCAR typically does, but nobody will ever be able to fill the shoes that drove that car." Baldwin said.
