'Iron' Mike Tyson doesn't rule out return to boxing ring | Boxing legend and the youngest ever heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, has refused to rule out a comeback to the
ring when asked in Las Vegas. Tyson (43), who has been out of the ring for four
years and has gained weight above his best fighting weight, has said that he could
consider making a comeback, even though it was unlikely. Standing beside his long-time
nemesis and promoter Don King at a show in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Tyson
told the Showtime announcer, Jim Gray: "If this guy is going to pay for my training
- my training team costs a lot of money - anything is possible. I don't see it
happening, but anything is possible." "I think Mike's one of the greatest fighters
that ever lived. I think he can still be a fighter if he wants to be a fighter.
Listen, whatever it is between Mike, it ain't about the bankroll. We gonna do
what has to be done ... so, whatever we have to do, we'll do," The Guardian quoted
King, as saying. Tyson and King were reunited after many acrimonious years apart
for King's promotion of the IBF bantamweight title fight between the defending
and losing champion -- Joseph Agbeko and Yohnny Perez. Tyson last fought in 2005,
knocked down and exhausted in the sixth round, and refusing to come out for the
seventh against the Irishman Kevin McBride. Tyson begins a short UK speaking tour
at the Civic Hall, Wolverhampton , on Thursday night. "I just want to meet and
greet as many of the ordinary fans as I can. The fans who rooted for me when I
was up and rooted for me when I was down," he said. |
