Polish boxer Golota faces deportation from U.S.

CHICAGO – Retired heavyweight Andrew Golota could be deported from the United States to his native Poland.

The 44-year-old boxer's case is in court and his wife, Mariola Golota, told The Chicago Tribune that a decision is expected in September.

Golota was a title contender with bouts against Mike Tyson (2000) and two against Riddick Bowe in 1996 that ended in disqualifications for throwing low blows. He also won a bronze medal at the 1988 Olympics.
