Tyson-Ruddock bout canceled Local sponsors breached contract, promoter says
The Associated Press
EDMONTON, Alberta — Promoters of the scheduled fight between heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and Razor Ruddock were in breach of contract three times before the bout was called off, promoter Don King said yesterday.
The Edmonton Sun also reported that when Tyson came to Edmonton for a Sept. 14 news conference to announce the fight, the bout technically had fallen through. The fight, originally scheduled for Nov. 18, was first postponed until 1990 because Tyson became ill. In November, it was put off indefinitely because of other complications.
Tyson's next scheduled fight is in
February against James "Buster"
Douglas in Tokyo.

The Edmonton cancellation has prompted Rudock's camp to sue King, but promoter Garry Stevenson said he wouldn't be suing anyone. Both he and Edmonton businessman Ed Bean, the major financial backer of the fight, suggested they intended to work with King and Rudock's promoter, Murad Muhammad, again, possibly for another Tyson-Rudlock matchup in Edmonton.
On Sept. 14, Stevenson had only local accountant Wayne Barry backing the fight. Barry had put up $200,000 on Aug. 30 in New York, but he couldn't provide the additional cash upon which the two sides had agreed.
Barry did come through with $300,000 that King had asked for to carry him through. Still, Stevenson admitted, the local organizers were in breach of contract three times.
"Breach of contract is the correct term, but it's also a little harsh," he said. "As we went along, Don King made concessions he didn't have to take."
When Barry couldn't come up with enough cash, Bean, who wanted to be a minority backer, became the main backer and agreed to abide by the original terms of the contract.
Stevenson said no one would ever know the full story, but Muhammad said he planned to sue King for fraud and breach of contract for canceling the fight.
Kansas ready to take a plunge into this season's crucial meet
By Andres Caveller
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas swim team will compete against seven other regional teams this weekend at the Arkansas Invitational.
"This is what we aimed at all semester," said swim coach Gary Kempf, "This is an outstanding invitational."
The Jayhawks will compete today through Sunday in Fayetteville, Ark., against Georgia, Louisiana State, New Mexico, Arizona, Arkansas, Drury and Southern Methodist.
Kansas has increased in speed this semester in preparation for
the invitational, which is the first one conducted at the University of Arkansas. Kempf said that he hoped the swimmers would post their fastest times of the fall this weekend.
He said that the Thanksgiving break had helped the swimmers rest physically and mentally because the swimmers had focused on little aspects of the sport, such as the startls, turns and finishes, during the break.
The women's team, 5-0 in dual meets, defeated Colorado State, Missouri, Illinois, Southern Illinois and Southern Methodist earlier this fall. The team started the season with a strong victory
against Missouri and Iowa State in the Big Eight Invitational.
two weeks ago, the women defeated 17th-ranked Southern Illinois 73-39.
Although Kansas has not competed this fall gainst any of the other participants in the invitations, Arkansas beat Arkansas twice last year.
There will be preliminaries and finals every day. Kempt said that Kansas would face strong competition in the nation's 15th Arizona and 18th Arkansas.
The Kansas men's team, ranked 20th in the nation, lost to Southern Illinois earlier in the season and to Southern Methodist 62-51.
