He wants to know it again. Boxing legend Mike Tyson is planning a comeback to the ring. And at the age of 57.

According to “MMA Pack”, talks are already underway about a return to the ring. The fight will take place in Saudi Arabia at the end of this year and the opponent would be former MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko (47).

“An interesting fight”

Emelianenko ended his MMA career last February after a defeat. The Russian is considered one of the best fighters to never fight in the UFC, the world’s largest MMA organization. He won 40 of his 47 fights and left the cage as a loser seven times.

After his dismissal he said: “MMA is 100 percent over for me. I want to try boxing. Mike Tyson would be an interesting fight.” Just over a year later, the fighting spectacle is about to take place.

Scandal Noodle Tyson

For Tyson it would not be the first comeback since his retirement in 2005. The American, who won 50 of his 56 professional fights, returned to the ring in 2020 for a show fight against Roy Jones Jr. (55). The fight was controversially ruled a draw at the time.

Tyson’s fitness will not fail. The legend is still extremely fit for his age and regularly shares videos of his workouts on social media.

Boxing fans can look forward to the return of one of the sport’s most colorful figures. Both inside and outside the ring, Tyson has made several headlines in his career. From biting off Evander Holyfield’s ear, to two prison sentences, to arguments with fans. The superstar’s scandal file is long. Now another chapter in the sport needs to be added. (bjl)
