Well the rumor has it that former undisputed heavyweight champion “Iron” Mike Tyson has reunited with longtime promoter Don King and King has some things up his sleeve such as Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield 3.
Last week Don King told ESPN.com that such a rematch isn’t in the works.
“It is not true. It is not true about no Tyson-Holyfield fight.”
King told ESPN.com when asked about a third Holyfield-Tyson fight.
“Maybe it’s something I would do for old time’s sake if they were interested in the fight, but I ain’t doing that at this time. I have not even spoken to Evander Holyfield.”
While King denies that fight, he didn’t refute the idea of Tyson’s return.
“I ain’t ready to comment on that,” King added. “Read between the lines. It really is something isn’t it, all the interest there is in Mike Tyson?”
King even hinted back in November of a possible return.
“I think Mike’s one of the greatest fighters that ever lived,” King said. “I think he can still be a fighter if he wants to be a fighter. Listen, whatever it is between me and Mike, it ain’t about the bankroll. We gonna do what has to be done. He needs a lot of vitamins. He needs a lot of TLC, tender loving care, dedication and discipline. So whatever we have to do, we’ll do. If you can’t hear me, I’ll say it a little louder.”
If Tyson does seek a comeback and Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 KOs) declines, McGahee lists Connecticut heavyweight Tony Grano, among others, as a potential backup plan for Tyson’s first bout back.
Tyson is 50-6 with 44 KOs. He has been out of the ring since a sixth-round TKO loss to Kevin McBride in 2005 and recently appeared on the Italian version of “Dancing With the Stars” and by the looks of it, Tyson is in no shape or form to fight.
Tyson should get own courtroom reality show…
How does Judge Mike sound ?
I’m sure if he actually had the desire of doing it all over again, he could, I’m sure, just like he said, the body is easy to get back, but the mind is a hole different story, if only Cus was still around or even just stayed with him a few years more it could have been easily a hole different story.
I think is to late to turn back the clock, he’s not getting any younger and I’m not sure he has to many good people around to help him if he really wants to do this.
It could work if he really wants it, but I’m not sure he can get back to that state of mind, ahh if only Cus could had stayed a bit longer.
I hope that Tyson comes back at 147 in order for him to beat Pacriod.
I hope that he thinks this way
