There’s no doubt in admitting that Mike Tyson is one of the biggest boxing names of modern times. Even after signing off from the sport, nearly two decades ago, Tyson still manages to send shock waves in the fight world with everything he does. That’s why young boxing guns, established stars, and even former champions want a piece of ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ inside the squared circle.

Recently, Shannon Briggs, who has been calling out Tyson for a fight, once again addressed the juncture of fighting ‘Iron’ Mike.

Speaking to Fanatics View, he said, “Man Mike Tyson don’t wanna fight me because he got bigger fish to fry. He’s making money, fighting hopefully Logan Paul, making some money, enough to live the rest of his life without having to worry. And that’s the most important part.”

“Fighting me, probably ain’t you know, in the cards for him. And for me, although I think it would be a great fight for Brownsville, Brooklyn. Can you imagine this Brooklyn? At the Barclays Center.”

However, many boxing purists and legends like Briggs know that there’s a terrific possibility of this fight happening soon.
