MIKE TYSON says he is ready to fight ANYONE as he gets set for a sensational boxing return.
The 53-year-old has undergone a stunning body transformation and is back in training ahead of a ring return.

The most likely opponent appears to be Evander Holyfield in what would be a mouthwatering trilogy fight.
Holyfield is 2-0 up on Tyson including that infamous DQ victory when Iron Mike bit a chunk out of his ear.
The Real Deal, four years Tyson’s senior at 57, has also announced he will lace the gloves again.
Fellow US heavyweight Shannon Briggs and even Tyson Fury’s dad John are two others who fancy a crack at the man who terrorised heavyweight boxing through the 1980s and 90s.

Speaking about his stunning new look, Tyson told TMZ Sports: “I am just having fun looking good, showing off my new body, anything is possible.
“My ego is starting to get elated, but we will see. There are a lot of things to hope for in the future.”
He went on to explain that a charity fight against Holyfield seems likely, but that he would be prepared to fight anyone who wanted to challenge him.

He added: “Listen there are a lot of people out there who need help, and something like that could help a lot of people who need help.
“That’s just basically pretty much what I embark on, a life of charity and gratitude.
“I don’t know if Evander and me are going to get in the ring, arch-enemies, doing it for the humanity of people, less fortunate than ourselves.
“What would that be like? That is something that has not been done by any entertainer any sports figure in the history of sports and entertainment.
“Anybody who wants to contribute to this charity I want them to come in and challenge me.
“I would be open for anyone.”
Tyson now weighs around 17st [240lb] having used time in lockdown to begin training again.
He once tipped the scales at 27st [380lbs] after retiring, but credits exercise and changing up his diet for his weight-loss.
