Mike Tyson is ready to go against any of the modern-day champions if they are willing to accept a fight against him. Although Tyson will return against Roy Jones Jr. on November 28, he is still looking forward to taking more fights, including a heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua.
That said, Mike Tyson will only jump in if it’s a charity match. Breaking a hiatus of 15 years in pro boxing, Tyson is only returning for some noble cause as his venture ‘Legends Only League’ vows to bring back veterans for people’s welfare.
