July 11, 1998: Tyson's big day

 LAS VEGAS (AP) -- If Mike Tyson has a calendar on his refrigerator door, he might circle July 11, 1998 with a red marker.
 That's the first day Tyson will be allowed to reapply for the boxing licence that Nevada boxing regulators revoked last week.
 Tyson actually learned his punishment on July 9, but it was not until last Friday that Dr. Elias Ghanem, head of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, signed the official order revoking his licence.
 Though Tyson will be eligible to reapply next July 11, that is a Saturday and he would likely have to wait until at least the next Monday to seek getting his licence back.
 Even then there's no guarantee the commission will vote to re-licence the former heavyweight champion, whose licence was revoked for biting Evander Holyfield's ears.
 If the 31-year-old Tyson is denied next year, he will have to wait at least another year before reapplying.
 Tyson has already paid the other part of his penalty, a $3 million fine imposed by the commission. Commission executive director Marc Ratner said promoter Don King gave the commission a $3 million cashier's check only a few hours after boxing regulators acted.
