Naseem Hamed has agreed to take second billing to Mike Tyson when the former undisputed heavyweight champion makes his comeback against Peter McNeeley in Las Vegas on 19 August. Hamed's opponent for his American debut has yet to be confirmed but he defends his World Council international super-bantamweight title against the Colombian, Juan Polo- Perez, at the Royal Albert Hall on 1 July.

Steve Collins' re-match with Chris Eubank for the World Organisation super-middleweight title has been delayed as the Irishman has damaged a finger. They were due to meet on 29 July but now the fight is not expected to take place until the end of August in Dublin.
