Yes, this really is a thing, not a gimmick, and he is planning on taking a pro fight. Eddie Hearn, who is a *************, has called it irresponsible and though he's right he's only saying that because he's most likely not going to be involved. He actually does look good for a fitty tree year old man and could probably still give some smokers some trouble for a round or 2....but no. Just no.

They must be thinking they can pull 20 million in on sponsors and pay per view buys. But in reality they gonna fall way short and end up getting sued because they could not raise the money they thought they were gonna make. Long story short, dont make promises of cash you cant follow through with. Example, the other bare knuckle promotion that went under.

BKFC isn't pulling 20M in sponsorship. No company anybody gives a **** about wants to be associated with it.
Won't happen in BKFC. It will be an exhibition bout in pro. Probably six rounds.

Evanders definitely shouldn't be taking anymore shots too the head!

Neither of them should. Both of them should have never laced up a glove again after fighting Nielsen. Well Holyfield didn't to be fair but now he thinks he's got one more in him.

Tyson....was a good heavyweight, but he's probably the most overrated HW Boxer of all time. I don't have him in my top 5 heavies. I might not even find a place for him in my top 10 if I thought about it.

No the most overrated heavyweight boxer(s) are the Klitschkos. They are so dreadfully boring and prevented the heavyweight division from having any excitement for so long after Lennox Lewis retired.

Agreed. The fact they were twin brothers was kinda cool. But they never fought each other like *******. And also they spam one two combos over and over in the most boring fights ever

I don't think they were overrated though.....everyone hated them.

Both Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield were great boxers but I don't think either of them should return to the ring at their ages. If you're lucky enough to have had a great boxing career and come out without any serious damage then you should quit while you're ahead. Both Mike and Evander are lucky in this sense. The romantic in me wants to see them fight again but I have to ask myself this: what good will returning to the ring really do for their legacies? After thinking about that I feel that they should stay retired as fighters but Evander has done some very good punditry work and I feel that's what he should carry on doing in his career. The former Middle and Super-middleweight champion Nigel Benn was also set to return to the ring and fight against former Middle and Super-middleweight champion Sakio Bika but withdrew. I think Mike and Evander should follow his example.

Mike Tyson vs Tito Ortiz or Anderson Silva would be a fight I'd pay to see otherwise pls no
06.28.2020 | 10:16 PM ET
If it's a boxing match he'll beat any of those guys. Including Jones who's reach would pose a problem but his lack of boxing knowledge and skill is too big an issue. Tyson vs Jones silva or Tito is a professional boxer vs amateur boxers just like Mayweather McGregor it'll be a farce where he'll kill them if he wanted even at fifty years old. Only Nganou or Derrick Lewis maybe could pose a threat in a boxing match. Maybe steep!

Boxers have a shelf life tysons has long past he is no foreman as a boxer or a man.
Tyson has been stopped 5 times 3 of which were by average or Journeyman boxers.
Let me be plain and simple Stipe 75%, Nganou 95%, Lewis 25% DC 50% Tanner Boser 15%
JDS 50% Anderson Silva 45%. Jones 65%.
Based on statistics and live footage these men have this percentage chance to beat Tyson in boxing match 3 or more rounds.
Likelihood of ko cant be determined they will have less power and tyson will have more defense with bigger gloves.
JDS was champ boxer, Anderson boxed pro/semi, Stipe golden gloves ama think DC claimed to be as well.
Jones is a ************* genius at angles and winning no matter what.
Id love to be proven wrong but none of these will happen just making my point verbose as possible.
