56-Year-Old Mike Tyson Dictates His Only Condition He’d Fight Roy Jones Jr. and Evander Holyfield Again

In a recent interview with TMZ, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson left fans wondering if he’s considering returning to the ring for exhibition fights against former opponents Roy Jones Jr. and Evander Holyfield. What’s even more intriguing is the only condition Tyson has set for himself before agreeing to participate in any future fights.

Tyson’s place as a boxing legend cannot be denied. His physical power and ferocity in the ring have earned him the reputation of being one of the most feared and revered fighters of all time. Despite his 56-year-old age, Tyson has a tremendous drive to perform and compete in front of his fans. This interview has sparked discussion regarding the possible return of one of boxing’s greatest legends.

The only way Mike Tyson would get back in the ring

During his interview with TMZ, Mike Tyson was queried about his inclination to face off with Roy Jones Jr. once more following their exhibition match in 2020. Tyson replied by stating that he was “chilling out,” but conceded that he could be convinced. He further revealed that there were individuals in Saudi Arabia who expressed enthusiasm in witnessing his return to the ring.

The conversation then turned to Evander Holyfield, who Tyson was supposed to fight in 2020, but the match fell through. When asked about the potential fight with Holyfield, Tyson simply stated, “I can be persuaded.” The interviewer then asked how much money it would take to convince Tyson to fight again, to which Tyson replied that he couldn’t say until he saw the financial details of the fight. “When I see the money people for the end of the product, my mind works clearer,” Tyson said. “I can’t express myself right now financially.”

Tyson’s statements have piqued the interest of fans and media outlets, with many speculating if one of the greatest boxers of all time, at the age of 56, is considering a comeback. While Tyson appears to be open to the concept, it is evident that monetary remuneration will play a significant factor in his decision-making process.
