MIKE TYSON has revealed he would deal with boxer Ryan Garcia ‘in the streets’ if he was on the end of the trash talk that has been thrown at Gervonta Davis.
Lightweight Garcia called out ‘Tank’ Davis after he stopped Britain’s Luke Campbell in the seventh round of their explosive fight in Texas earlier this month.

‘King Ryan’ went on Tyson’s podcast after his win and proceeded to FaceTime Davis on the show, an altercation which led to them reaching a verbal agreement to fight each other next.
And Tyson has now insisted that Davis has no choice but to fight Garcia.
Speaking about Garcia’s trash talk, he told Brendan Schaub on BELOW THE BELT on YouTube: “Cause he’s done humiliated this guy. This guy [Davis], if he don’t fight him, he’s got to put his tail between his legs.
“If it was in my day, I would wait to see this guy in the streets and check him. This is really bad stuff.”
Garcia boasts a perfect professional record of 21-0 with 18 of his victories coming by way of knockout.
Davis, who is promoted by Floyd Mayweather, is also undefeated as a pro and has stopped 23 of his 24 opponents.
As well as Davis, Garcia could also face Devin Haney next after he became mandatory for the WBC lightweight belt with his win over Campbell.
Meanwhile, Tyson, 54, is also eyeing a comeback of his own having come out of retirement in November of last year to box Roy Jones Jr in an eight-round exhibition.

Tyson and Jones fought to a draw on the judges scorecards, with ‘Iron Mike’ now considering a trilogy fight against old rival Evander Holyfield.
Tyson and Holyfield first squared off in November 1996, with ‘The Real Deal’ coming out on top via an 11th round stoppage.
They then rematched seven months later and Tyson was disqualified in the third round after infamously biting Holyfield’s ear.
Holyfield revealed earlier this month he is in talks with Tyson over a third fight which is set to be worth £150million.
