Joe Rogan is one of the biggest Mike Tyson fans there is. Rogan has shown his love for the boxing legend multiple times on his podcast show. The UFC color commentator’s dream of a Mike Tyson boxing comeback might just come true as one of Tyson’s most anticipated opponents, Bob Sapp, called out ‘Iron’ in a recent video.

Tyson was supposed to fight the giant kickboxing veteran, Bob Sapp, instead of Roy Jones Jr in 2020. However, for a reason unknown, the bout never happened. The two had even agreed on a bout when they met face to face at a K1 event in Japan.

Despite the enormous size of Bob Sapp, Tyson agreed to take him on the same night back in 2003. Tyson still admits that the fight would have been incredible if it ever happened.

Recently, Sapp broke the internet when he called out Mike Tyson and showed off his incredible physique in a video. He called out Mike Tyson for a comeback bout and claimed to “rip his heart out.”

Sapp said, “Mike, now we all know what happened when you and I talked about the fight. I sent you a photo along with this sentence: ‘Mike if you fight me I will rip your heart out and tear it to shreds.’ And it still applies.”

“As for you, Mike. I’ve got a challenge for you… You and me and two of my best fighters vs two of your best fighters. Stand up, Marquess of Queensbury Rules. Because you’re too scared to fight one on one. I’ll take all of you on punk boxers. I like little Michael. I like little Michael. That’s my challenge. You know my age. Fight me. Or my crew.”
