Mike Tyson is unlikely to fight again
Mike Tyson retired from the sport of boxing in 2005, following a loss to Kevin McBride. Surprisingly, he made a surprising return to the ring in 2020.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tyson notably began training again. Months later, it was announced that the former Heavyweight Champion would return to the ring against Roy Jones Jr. on pay-per-view.
The event was a smashing success, garnering 1.6 million pay-per-view buys. The headlining bout saw the two legends go to a split draw, but 'Iron' was hailed for his performance. In the aftermath, he confirmed his intentions to continue doing exhibition boxing matches.
However, well over a year later, he's since gone back on those comments. He recently appeared on the Full Send podcast to discuss his fighting future, where he announced he was likely done. He said:
"Guys want to fight me for $100 million bucks, I don't think I'll ever do stuff like that anymore. I wanted to do it the first time just for fun, just to have fun and then some people took it to another level and made it financial and then the fun went out of it."
