Former World Heavy weight champion Mike Tyson has reechoed his seriousness to make a return to the boxing ring following a string of workout videos that have surfaced in recent weeks.
Early reports suggested that he might get into the ring with former rival Evander Holyfield for part three of their historic showdown but he has shut down any possibility of that happening.

āNo he isnāt the one Iām fighting but there are so many guys that want to do this, the contracts will soon be done and then you can see the names that are involved,ā he clarified.
British fighter Tyson Fury’s name is the latest to be thrown into the fray as a possible opponent for Iron Mike.
