In fact, over the past few months, Tyson was in sheer talks to stage a fight with old rival Evander Holyfield. However, the fight couldn’t reach terms and it fell through.
Despite that, Tyson, who is optimistic about securing an exhibition tussle, hasn’t stopped his training routines. In fact, he’s immersed himself in extensive training ever since that last exhibition encounter. The 54-year-old is currently enjoying his time in the gym. And it’ll be interesting to see who he gets lined up with for his return to the ring.
