Tennessee boxing officials decided to have a new doctor examine former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe .

Manager Jimmy Adams said yesterday he had few details but that state officials want Bowe to see a new doctor. He was arranging for Bowe to travel to Nashville within the next few days.

"We've got nothing to hide, so we're glad," Adams said. "We're willing to see whatever doctor they're willing for us to see."

On Oct. 27, Bowe applied for a Tennessee license but was rejected a day later. State officials also dismissed his appeal, and he sued.

A chancellor, in an opinion issued April 20, gave the state 30 days to either study Bowe's own medical records, adopt his doctors' opinions or have another doctor examine the boxer.
