Mike Tyson sounds the alarm on US boxing, launching a Las Vegas amateur invitational

AP News LAS VEGAS (AP) — When Mike Tyson was developing as a young fighter in New York in 1980s, he had plenty of chances to test the skills that would one day make him the world's best and fiercest heavyweight.

Now Tyson looks at the state of boxing in the United States and doesn't like what he sees. The title of heavyweight champion has gone from among the most prestigious in sports to one that's nearly anonymous.
