Mike Tyson to get $20 million contract offer to return to boxing, report says

[TheComputerGroup]

Mike Tyson might actually make a comeback to the boxing ring.

According to MMA Fighting, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship [BKFC] is set to offer Tyson over $20 million to come out of retirement and compete in a fight for the organization.

"I think I know what we need to do to make this thing happen," BKFC President David Feldman said.

The company offered the 53-year-old Tyson $20 million earlier in the month, but its next offer reportedly will include more money as well as charitable donations. The last time the former world heavyweight champion competed in a boxing match was back in 2005.

Tyson has been training recently and he even posted videos of his sessions.

"He hasn't hit mitts for almost 10 years, so I didn't expect to see what I saw. I saw a guy with the same speed, same power as guys 21, 22 years old," trainer Rafael Cordeiro told ESPN.

No plans have been official just yet, but Tyson said during an appearance on "Young Money Radio" that all options were open at this point in time.

"We got so many guys that want to do this," Tyson said. "We're in calls -- we're doing business with guys, you ain't even going to believe the names when the names come out."

He's like 52....but I guess for $20 million, most 52 year olds would try for a come back.

Foreman was almost 49 when he fought his last fight...

It depends what kind of drug testing is enforced.

If tyson is allowed to use hgh and other performance enhancing stuff, we may be shocked at how he holds up against younger less talented guys

 

[CADILLACJACK]

According to Mike all of his earnings are going to charity....he claims he's not doing this for money

 

[CoolBreeze22]

Am I crazy to think that even at 52, another Tyson-Holyfield bout would have a shot at being the most watched fight of all time?

 

[Seymour]

He is going to get killed if he fights anyone with talent - the age difference is just too much

 

[valetudo]

Can't wait to see Mike fighting again. But his opponent must be in similar age.

Mike Tyson vs. Tyson Fury fight has been discussed: ‘Hell yeah!’


Mike Tyson appears willing to take on anyone in a potential return to the ring, even one of the best active boxers in the world.

Tyson Fury, who dominated Deontay Wilder in February to become the WBC heavyweight champion, said he was contacted regarding a potential exhibition bout with the Baddest Man on the Planet.

“I did get a phone call with a chance to fight Mike Tyson. I was like, Whaaat?!’ Fury told BT Sport. “”I had a phone call saying, ‘Would you like to fight Mike Tyson in an exhibition fight?’ I was like, ‘Hell yeah!’ But I don’t think anything’s materialized out of it to be honest. I think he’s definitely serious about doing some fights.”

The 53-year-old Tyson said in a interview with Lil Wayne posted Saturday that he’d been in touch with several names about a charity boxing fight. Former rival Evander Holyfield, who’s also itching for a comeback, teased a potential trilogy fight with Tyson.

“You’re not going to believe the names when the names come out,” Tyson said. “Sometime this week, we’ll have the contract done.”

Tyson has been posting workout videos to social media, appearing to be in his best shape in years. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship president David Feldman told MMA Fighting was going to make Tyson another offer that was more than the $20 million they initially floated.
