But Tyson is already looking ahead, and doesn’t plan on making the Jones Jr battle his final taste of the sport he dominated for years.

“It would be so awesome if we could do this all around the world and fight the best fighter in that country.
“Exhibitions with this guy in that country, exhibitions all over the world. Wouldn’t that be great?”
Iron Mike has shown off a scintilalting body transformation as he prepares for his scrap against a fellow boxing legend.
Tyson has been regularly sharing training clips and recently revealed he FIRES sparring partners who don’t ‘kick his ass’ in the sessions.

“Now you tell me, is this an exhibition? You tell me. What the f*** is going on? I want an exhibition, now I got a belt involved. C’mon, man.”
However that ‘belt’ will be more a ‘commemorative strap’ with the WBC deciding againt the victor walking out with the Front Line Battle Belt.
Tyson returns to the ring for the first time in 15 years when he faces Jones, 51.
The heavyweight icon has spent his comeback with MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro, where he has dramatically transformed his body.
