This has to be Fox. It's funny how far they are taking these reality shows now.
SHOW OFFERS SHOT AT TYSON

January 16, 2003 --
HEY, tough guy - you think you can beat Mike Tyson?
Well, this might be your chance.
Producers are shopping a reality series in which an average Joe would train for a match against Tyson, the former heavyweight champion who's now better known for chomping on Evander Holyfield's ear.
The show, the brainchild of producer Stu Schreiberg of Triage Entertainment, has drawn interest from several networks - and from Tyson himself.
Schreiberg is reportedly in talks with Tyson's managers to cement a deal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Triage, by the way, is the outfit behind the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" special that aired last year on CBS.
Tyson, who served three years in prison on a rape conviction, was pummeled last June by Lennox Lewis in Memphis, Tenn.
