According to website canada.com, former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson has settled a lawsuit filed by a man who accused him of biting his leg.

It was reported that Tyson has agreed to pay Isadore Bolton close to $275,000 to settle a lawsuit started by Bolton over an incident which occured on Florida's I-95 highway in May 2003. Bolton had sued for more than $1.5 million, claiming that Tyson caused a broken bone in his face and a leg injury from a Tyson bite. There was no admission of liability by Tyson.

Bolton, who worked as a personal assistant to Don King, was allegedly pummeled by Tyson after he tried to calm Tyson down on a highway median. No word on what set Tyson off.
