Mike Tyson is considered to be one of the best boxers to ever set foot inside the ring. Now retired, Tyson runs a cannabis production business to keep his financial well-being intact. And it has been working quite fruitfully, as the business is doing great for him. However, he reminisces about being inside the ring quite often and misses the competition.
That could very well be the motivation behind the recent update, as Tyson made an announcement of his “return” on Instagram. Mike Tyson broke his 15-year ring rust by stepping inside the ring in Nov 2020. He took on Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition fight and the bout ended with a controversial split draw. It’s been almost 2 and a half years since he’s fought, and now he’s scheduled an announcement regarding his comeback to the ring.
