Tyson Ready For Next Round

LAS VEGAS--Five days of examining Mike Tyson's mind was enough to convince doctors he is mentally fit to return to the ring. Now, he faces a second fight to get Nevada boxing officials to agree.

Tyson is depressed and lacking self-esteem but most likely won't "snap" again as he did when he bit Evander Holyfield's ears in a June 1997 title fight, according to a psychiatric report prepared for the Nevada Athletic Commission and released yesterday. It concludes by saying that while there is no way to predict future behavior, doctors believe Tyson is "mentally fit to return to boxing, to comply with the rules and regulations, and to do so without repetition of June 28, 1997."
