Champ Tyson find a job in Japan

Mike Tyson is not unemployed anymore.

Tyson has signed an exclusive management contract with K-1, a company based in Japan that uses the same name as the sport, giving the promotional company the rights to handle a publicity tour for Tyson in Japan and other commercial endorsements in that country.

Tyson was guaranteed nearly $4 million in addition to a $200,000 signing bonus, according to Scott Coker, president and chief executive of K-1 in the United States. He added that details regarding a Tyson-Bob Sapp (you might see him on Jay Leno's Tonight Show) match are being discussed.
