Throughout the early ’80s and ’90s, Mike Tyson was the most looming figure in heavyweight boxing. Apart from being a global superstar, he was known for his viciousness that troubled many. It is no surprise that he has beaten some of the best and is also regarded as one of the greatest to have ever laced the gloves.

But how would he perform against the modern-day gladiators? Although Mike Tyson is looking to get back inside the ring against Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match, it still doesn’t validate his return to professional boxing.

The modern-day roster is filled with some legit heavyweight killers. However, Tyson’s coach Rafael Cordeiro believes that ‘Iron’ Mike can still perform against the active heavyweights.

Cordeiro suggested that Tyson can have another title run against any of the modern-day boxers like Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, or even the former WBC champion Deontay Wilder.

Can Mike Tyson battle the modern-era heavyweight champions?

The MMA mastermind recently connected with TMZ to talk about Tyson’s upcoming contest on November 28. Talking about a possible contest between Tyson and the new heavyweights, Rafael said:

“I believe Mike [Tyson] can do it. If he put his mind, he wanna fight for the belt one day, why not? Who says it’s impossible to do?

It is great to see two of the former world champions return to action against each other. While they have already touched their dotage, that still hasn’t affected their fierce mindset.
