Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will be in Dubai next month to promote an Arab boxing tournament.

Organizers said Monday that Tyson will attend as a ''guest of honor'' to watch the 12 fights featuring male and female boxers from the Middle East and Europe.

A list of the participating fighters will be released later this month.

The Federation of Arab Boxing said Tyson is being paid $160,000 for his involvement.
