PHILADELPHIA, USA (AFP) – Muhammad Ali's former boxing promoter Butch Lewis has died. He was 65.
The colourful American promoter also worked with Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson and Leon and Michael Spinks, and was known for the snappy tuxedos he wore to fights.
Lewis's family is making funeral arrangements at a funeral home in Wilmington, Delaware. Funeral home owner Sammy Congo said he did not know the details of Lewis' death.
Lewis promoted the Michael Spinks-Tyson fight 23 years ago that was won by Tyson with a first round knockout.
