It didnt take Mike Tyson very long to get involved in
controversy in his new role as a boxing promoter.
Austin-Watson-Adidas-Jersey/">Austin Watson Jersey .
The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an
open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself
-- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying
to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U.S.
Olympic team in 2016. Dr. Charles Butler said in the
letter that recently formed Iron Mike Productions has
been offering money to the best amateur fighters to turn
pro, in particular an 18-year-old who some in amateur
boxing believe to be the countrys best hope for a gold
medal at the Rio games. He says the money being offered
is "pennies on the dollar" of what the prospects could be
worth with an Olympic medal. "Mike, USA Boxing does not
have the funds to compete with your offers," the letter
said. "If you have money and would like to assist these
young athletes and the sport, you should donate for
athlete stipends to support the training of these boxers
and help your country regain its prominence on the medal
stand. Please do not take them from us. If they win a
medal for their country, you can always sign them to
professional contracts at that time." Tyson did not
immediately return a phone call, and publicist Joann
Mignano said he would not be commenting. Mignano
confirmed, though, that Iron Mike Promotions signed
Florida fighter Erickson Lubin on Tuesday, his 18th
birthday. Lubin is a two-time Junior Olympic national
champion and won the 152-pound division at the National
Golden Gloves this year. In his USA Boxing bio he said
his goals were to win a gold medal at the Olympics, turn
pro and win every title possible. "We want to be
competitive and we want to increase our overall
performance in the Olympic games," said USA Boxing
executive director Anthony Bartkowski. "This is a new
strategy of trying to make sure our Olympic-aged athletes
are not poached by promoters. In the past, USA Boxing was
passive and just accepted it." Tyson isnt the only
promoter trying to lure amateurs to the pros. Last month,
DiBella Entertainment said it signed highly touted 17-
year-old Junior "Sugar Boy" Younan from New York to a
contract and said he would make his pro debut in late
October or early November, after he turned 18. Boxing
promoters have long trolled the amateur ranks looking for
talent, especially in recent years as the lure of
Olympics gold has faded for many fighters. Winning the
Olympics was once a guaranteed way to make millions, but
as the U.S. Olympic boxing teams have faded so have the
prospects for Olympic fighters. The last American man to
win an Olympic gold in boxing was Andre Ward in 2004, and
last years team in London didnt win a medal of any
colour. USA Boxing, meanwhile, has undergone a series of
shakeups and its funding has been cut by the U.S. Olympic
Committee. The executive director of the USOC said
Tuesday that boxing -- which was once dominated by
Americans -- is still trying to find a way to replicate
earlier successes. "Boxing is one of those sports that I
think we have a very rich tradition in, but not a lot of
current performance," Scott Blackmun said. "I think the
recent reorganization of USA Boxing ... is going to be
very, very beneficial because it brings some very
independent thinkers to the board. But I dont think you
can take away the choices our athletes have. They have to
weigh the importance of an Olympic medal and the impact
an Olympic medal could have on their lifetime earning
capabilities, and weigh that versus the short-term
benefits of turning professional." Tyson is somewhat of
an unlikely target of an amateur program he used to
compete in, making it to within one fight of the Olympics
in 1984. He began working as a promoter just recently,
joining up with a promotion company called Acquinity
Sports to host his first card last month in Verona, N.Y.

-Mike-Ribeiro-Adidas-Jersey/ .C. -- Charles Oakley,
one of the NBAs all-time tough guys, may not return to
the Charlotte Bobcats bench next season because of a
painful back condition he says was caused during an
assault last year in Las Vegas.CHICAGO - Henry Sims can
see the growth and hes not referring to the stack of
losses. The Philadelphia 76ers skid continued and so did
their march toward the wrong kind of record. They have
dropped 24 straight after losing 91-81 to the Chicago
Bulls on Saturday. But Sims can at least see some
positives. "Were learning to play better with each
other," he said. "Were learning to make better decisions
down the stretch. Were growing right now, and thats the
main focus right now. The games we have left, we want to
keep growing." They wouldnt mind stopping the losing
streak, either, but the Bulls werent about to let that
happen. Joakim Noah finished with 20 points, Jimmy Butler
scored 17, and Chicago handed the 76ers yet another loss
to put them within two of the NBA record. The Sixers
moved ahead of the Vancouver Grizzlies (1995-96), Denver
Nuggets (1997-98) and Charlotte Bobcats (2011-12) for the
second-longest, single-season losing streak. The
Cleveland Cavaliers dropped 26 during the 2010-11 season,
and Philadelphia would have to pull off an upset to avoid
tying that. The next two games are at San Antonio and
Houston. Drop them, and the Sixers could set the record
at home against Detroit on March 29, particularly if they
continue to shoot like this from the outside. They missed
their first 18 3-pointers and were threatening a league
record before Byron Mullens made one early in the fourth.
They wound up going 1 for 20. The mark for most 3-point
attempts in a game without a conversion is 15. "We were 1
for 20 — what do you say?" coach Brett Brown asked. "Its
going to be hard. I thought our defence was really quite
good. Its always going to be hard if you cant make
perimeter shots. This group has struggled doing that, and
so, finding wins and finding ways to stay in games is
always going to be a challenge." Despite that, they hung
in until Taj Gibson buried a jumper and D.J. Augustin
nailed a 3 with 2:30 remaining. That mmade it 91-79 and
sealed the win for the Bulls, who moved into a tie for
third in the Eastern Conference with Toronto.

Jersey. Noah and Butler each had eight rebounds,
with Butler dishing out six assists. Gibson came on
strong in the fourth quarter to finish with 16 points and
10 rebounds. Augustin added 16 points and six assists,
and the Bulls came away with the win after losing at
Indiana the previous night. "Its tough," he said. "(The
76ers) come out and they have nothing to lose. Basically,
they just come out shooting whenever they feel and some
of those shots go in. Its hard for anybody to play
against a team thats losing, but theyre still a good team
at the same time." Thaddeus Young scored 28 for
Philadelphia despite missing seven 3-pointers. Sims added
18 points and 15 rebounds, but the Sixers remained
winless since Jan. 29. It didnt help that they were
missing Tony Wroten, one of their few bright spots in
this lost season. He sprained his right ankle in Fridays
one-point loss at home to the New York Knicks and did not
travel with the team. "Theres a win in this group," Brown
said. "We will continue to fight and continue to stay
together. Im just thrilled, Im proud of their ability,
their character, to stay together in whats clearly
difficult times." Notes: Brown said Wroten will miss all
three games on the trip. ... Brown had high praise for
Noah before the game, saying he hopes Nerlens Noel
develops like him. "Every time I see Joakim, I hope I see
what were going to get in Nerlens," Brown said. "Hes one
of the prime examples I point to as we try and groom a
young player." Noel was taken with the sixth pick in the
draft last spring despite a torn ACL in his left knee. He
has not played this season. ... Houston (at Orlando,
March 30, 1991), Golden State (against Indiana, Dec. 6,
1996) and Milwaukee (against Phoenix, Jan. 22, 2002)
share the record for 3s attempted without a conversion in
a game.
