Mike Tyson has once again given fans something to talk about - his return. The fifty-three year old former heavyweight champion teased fans with a training video on Instagram titled ‘I’m back’. This is the second video to surface that shows ‘Iron’ Mike showing off his boxing skills. At the time, Tyson had said that he was looking at exhibition bouts to raise money for charity.
Tyson last featured in a competitive bout in June 2005, against journeyman Kevn McBride, where he stunned everyone by quitting at the start of the seventh round. A comeback will see a long line of boxers waiting for a shot at the youngest heavyweight champion of all time. New Zealand rugby player Sonny Bill Williams and Australian Paul Gallenwith are two possible contenders. Fans would love to see another bout between Tyson and Evander Holyfield. The duo have engaged in a series of epic bouts throughout their careers with Hollyfield coming out victorious. He is also the only person to win undisputed championships in two weight classes.
Of the fifty-eight fights, Tyson won fifty (44 knockouts) and has lost only six times. Should he return for an exhibition match, he would join the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
