Mike Tyson is still thinking about boxing again.

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. Although, you probably didn't need us to tell you that. Overall, his resume speaks for itself. He was one of the hardest punchers ever, and he was feared in the ring. These days, Tyson has been more than happy to run his cannabis business while also hosting an incredibly successful podcast. This success has been fun to watch, and there is no doubt that fans are curious about the legend's future endeavors. After all, he did fight Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.

However, that fight against Jones Jr. was ultimately overshadowed by Jake Paul's knockout of Nate Robinson. Regardless, Jones Jr. and Mike Tyson put on quite the show, with the match ending in a tie. Subsequently, fans have been clamoring for a rematch. Moreover, there was a sense that Tyson would fight Evander Holyfield. Unfortunately, that fight ended up falling through due to a dispute over money. With all of that being said, there seems to be a real appetite to see Iron Mike fight again.

Mike Tyson Speaks

While being interviewed by TMZ, Tyson spoke about the potential for another fight. As you can see in the video up above, he is open to anything. However, it would have to be for the right price. In fact, he would fight anybody, although Jones Jr. and Holyfield are all solid and worthwhile options. "When I see the money people for the end of the product, my mind works clearer. I can't express myself right now financially," Tyson admitted. Needless to say, there is at least some convincing left to be done.

Overall, the appetite for a Mike Tyson fight is still very much there. However, someone is going to have to drop the bag for it. Considering how much these YouTube stars are pulling in, surely someone will drop some cash to see Tyson duke it out with someone. Let us know who you want to see Tyson fight against, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.
