Will Mike Tyson return to the ring?

He was then linked with reports about fighting former foes Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. At the same time, Tyson also showed interest in fighting Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. He appeared in an interview with NewsMax last month Tyson confirmed he was leaving a lot of money on the table by deciding to not fight. 

Tyson reportedly said, “The boys want to fight with me for 100 million dollars, but I think I’ll never do something like that again. I wanted to do it the first time, just for fun, to have fun. Then some people took him to another level and only wanted him for financial reasons, so the fun was over”.

The entire sporting community was concerned about Tyson’s health after he was spotted at the Miami airport in a wheelchair. He later revealed that he is suffering from sciatica. As per Marca, Tyson said, “I have sciatica every now and then, it flares up. When it flares up, I can’t even talk! Thank God it’s the only health problem I have. I’m splendid now”.

However, he put all health concerns to rest on Tuesday with his sparring video on Instagram. Tyson stormed into the sport of boxing in the latter part of the 1980s and became a heavyweight champion at the age of 20. He went on to knockout greats like Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, and Frank Bruno to become one of the greatest boxers in the heavyweight division. He currently hosts his own podcast named, ‘Hotboxin with Mike’.
