UNC (18-4, 8-3 in the ACC) jumped
out to an 11-2 lead early in the contest,
but the Tar Heels shot only 32 percent in
the first half and failed to put away the
game early. Florida State (7-15, 3-9)
went on a 14-5 run to tie the game at 16

But UNC scored the half’s final four

Tyson terminates managers,
begins to take control of life
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS Mike Tyson, who
has seen the biggest paydays in boxing
history since being released from prison
three years ago, says he is taking control
of his life, setting the stage for a legal
battle with promoter Don King.
“At the present time I have taken con
trol of my own affairs, both personal
and business," Tyson said in a statement
released by a Hollywood celebrity man
ager Wednesday afternoon. “I have
hired new attorneys and accountants
who report directly to me. I have formed
Mike Tyson Enterprises and I am in the
process of moving forward with my
life.”
The statement, released by Jeff Wald
of Los Angeles, did not address reports
that Tyson had severed ties with King
and his two co-managers, John Home
and Rory Holloway.
Wald, who represents celebrities such
as Roseanne and James Brolin, said his
company has “no formal involvement”
with Tyson, adding, “We’re not negoti

ating at this point.” Wald said he met
Tyson earlier when the fighter
approached him about a music venture.
The announcement set the stage for a
showdown of two of the biggest names
in boxing Tyson and King.
It would be “very hard” for Tyson to
break his contract with King, Home and
Holloway, according to Dr. Elias
Ghanem, chairman of the Nevada State
Athletic Commission.
Ghanem said he is concerned about
published reports that Tyson may owe
as much as $7 million in taxes.
Tyson has earned an estimated $l4O
million in six fights since he was
released from an Indiana prison in 1995
after serving time on rape charges. The
New York Post reported Wednesday
that Tyson was down to $150,000 in liq
uid assets.
The New York Daily News reported
that Los Angeles attorney John Branca
had been hired by Tyson and had sent
“termination” letters to Home and
Holloway last Thursday.
