Associated Prow
NEW YORK ? Mike Tyson is out of
prison. Is Don King out of the picture?
Various published accounts Monday
suggested that promoter King has
lost his hold on the former heavyweight
champion, released Saturday from an
Indiana prison where he served time
for a rape conviction.
"Today, I don't think Don King is
out, but we'll know in a couple of
months," promoter Dan Duva said from
his office in Totowa, N.J.
1 think King is out," promoter Bob
Arum said from his office in Las Vegas.
"I don't care that much, except it
facilitates a Tyson-Foreman fight."
The 46-year-old Foreman, promoted
by Arum, more likely would fight
Tyson if King, Arum's archrival, is not
involved.
Phone calls to King's office in Florida
and his Ohio home, located near
Tyson's residence in Southington, were
not returned.
There were reports that Tyson sent
King away after the former champion
returned to his home Saturday.
Promoter Butch Lewis was quoted
If .. J ?. \T "TV _ !__ XT _
m ivionaays mew iora. jjany mews as
saying, "I was told that there's some
sort of rift between King and Tyson. I
was told that Tyson wanted privacy
and asked everybody to leave, including
Don."
Monday, Lewis told The Associated
Press that "all the rumors being circulated
are second and third hand. Fm
not surprised, nor should anyone else
be, after being incarcerated for three
years that the kid would want privacy.
People are reading too much into
it. I don't take it as a sign that Don is
on his way out."
The New York Post reported Tyson
was angry when he found a Showtime
crew in his home, taping footage for a
documentary to be aired in April. The
newspaper reported it had been told
King had made a $20 million deal with
Showtime, with whom King has worked
for some time, for a combination of the
documentary and rights to telecast
Tyson's first comeback bout.
Several phone calls were made to
the cable TV network, but Showtime
would not comment.
"I don't think the public cares who
promotes Mike Tyson because I think
they'll buy tickets to see Mike Tyson

Duva said.
Arum, however, contends the public
is interested in whether King resumes
his promotional relationship
with Tyson.
"The public wants to know initially
that King is out," Arum said. "King
has painted himself as the devil. People

Arum admitted that if King is the
promoter, "I think people will go to see
Mike fight, but the whole aura changes."
There were reports Tyson was UP*
set because King had arranged for a
welcome-home spread that included
champagne and shellfish. Alcohol, shellfish
and pork are forbiddep by Islamic
law.
Reports that Tyson had married
his 28-year-old girlfriend Monica Turner,
a Georgetown University medical
student, in a Muslim ceremony in prison
were denied Monday by Phil Slavens,
assistant superintendent at the Indiana
Youth Center.
It also was rumored that Tyson was
thinking about changing his name to
Malik Abdul Aziz.
"He ain't changing his name" said
Muhammed Siddeeq, Tyson's instructor
in Islam while he was in prison,
told an Associated Press reporter at a
mosque in Plainfield, IncL, where Tyson
prayed after being released.
"Change of name is not crucial, unless
the name has meaning," Dr. Sayyid
Mohammed Syeed, secretary general
of the Islamic Society of North America,
said Monday. "We think Mike Tyson
is a nice name."

Associated Press
The NHL's best against the NHL's
worst had predictable results. What happened
to the NHL's second-best, however,
was surprising.
While the league-leading Quebec
Nordiques beat the lowly Ottawa Senators
114 Sunday night, to no one's sur
prise, tne orrensrve-minaea nttsDurgn
Penguins couldn't even score a goal in
a 2-0 loss to Florida.
The NHL's top-scoring team hadn't
been shut out in a regular-season game
since losing to Boston 7-0 Jan. 14,1993
? a stretch of 154 games. They were
shut out 2-0 by Washington ? and goaltender
Don Beaupre ? in the quarterfinals
of the playoffs last year.
"We turned it over way too much,"
Pittsburgh coach Ed Johnston said. "We
were hesitant offensively, we didn't get
the puck to the open man, and we didn't
put any pressure on them at all."
John Vanbiesbrouck had a solid game
in goal for the Panthers, making 24 saves.
"This is a great feeling to beat a team
like that, especially after what they did
to us the last time out," said Vanbiesbrouck,
whose Panthers lost to Pittsburgh
6-5 and 7-3 earlier. "If we could
beat a team like that, we probably can
beat just about anybody."
Elsewhere in the NHL, it was New
Jersey 5, the New York Islanders 5; Hartford
4, Washington 3 in overtime; Chicago

NEW YORK ? With the start of the
season just six days away, the baseball
strike landed in court, and a federal judge
scheduled a hearing Friday that could
lead to an end of the 7 1/2-month walkout.
After a 30-minute hearing Monday,
U.S. District Judge Sonia Sotomayor
asked owners for a brief by Wednesday
and asked the National Labor Relations
Board for a response by the following
day.
She left open the possibility she would
make a decision before Sunday's scheduled
season opener. The NLRB is asking
her to issue a preliminary injunction
that would restore the key provisions of
the expired collective bargaining agreement
rlayers say they would end their
strike if Sotomayor issues the ii\junction,
