Joe Rogan is one of the biggest Mike Tyson fans there is. Rogan has shown his love for the boxing legend multiple times on his podcast show. The UFC color commentator’s dream of a Mike Tyson boxing comeback might just come true as one of Tyson’s most anticipated opponents, Bob Sapp, called out ‘Iron’ in a recent video.
Tyson was supposed to fight the giant kickboxing veteran, Bob Sapp, instead of Roy Jones Jr in 2020. However, for a reason unknown, the bout never happened. The two had even agreed on a bout when they met face to face at a K1 event in Japan.
Despite the enormous size of Bob Sapp, Tyson agreed to take him on the same night back in 2003. Tyson still admits that the fight would have been incredible if it ever happened.
