Mike Tyson has always praised the modern-age heavyweights. However, ‘Iron’ doesn’t see the current contenders to be anywhere near what he was when he was in his prime. Tyson, who had his eyes on the recent Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk matchup for the heavyweight titles, wasn’t impressed.

‘Iron’ didn’t disregard the contenders, but his overview of the fight reflected the contrast between old school and modern-age boxing.

Following the bout where Anthony Joshua lost his unified world titles, ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ wrote, “After watching the Joshua vs Usyk fight, maybe they had a bad day that night. From that performance do you really think they could have beat me in my prime?”

Aged 55, Mike Tyson has still got what it takes to step through the ropes. He looked brilliant in his comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr. for the custom WBC belt.

Post that fight, ‘Iron’ vowed to try himself against some of the current-era elites, i.e. the likes of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Unfortunately for the fans who got excited at that, it seems today’s warriors have left Tyson unimpressed. Hence, the former champion may re-consider his thoughts of sharing the ring with them.

Will we ever see Mike Tyson in the ring again?

As exhibition boxing matchups are on a rise, Tyson looks ready for one more run in the ring. He can compete against his former rival Lennox Lewis, a potential re-match that can shake several records at the Box Office. Moreover, a trilogy between Tyson and Holyfield was also being rumored to happen.

However, as Evander Holyfield failed miserably on his comeback against Vitor Belfort, Mike Tyson may overlook ‘The Read Deal’ in favor of ‘The Lion’.

Additionally, given the words “bad day” in his tweet, he may keep an eye on how the modern era fighters fare in their next bouts and opt to give them another shot.
