He indicated that while he is currently happy with his retirement, he would consider returning to the octagon if the money was right. Teixeira referenced the example of Larry Holmes, a former heavyweight boxing champion who came out of retirement to fight Mike Tyson in 1988. Holmes was offered a significant amount of money, and Teixeira suggested that a similar offer could tempt him to return to the sport.

“Then money talks. If you pay, we’ll get out of retirement. Didn’t Larry Holmes get out of retirement after three years to fight Mike Tyson? They offered him some money that he had never earned before,” Teixeira said, as reported by AG Fight.
