      Tyson spoke to TMZ and was asked if he would be interested in fighting Roy Jones Jr.
      The former heavyweight champion replied: “I could be persuaded.”
      He also did not shut down the possibility of fighting Evander Holyfield again.
      Tyson said: “I don’t know. When I see the money people for the end of the product, my mind works clearer.

      “I can’t express myself right now financially.”
      Iron Mike also revealed that he has been approached by people in Saudi Arabia about a comeback bout.
      Tyson last featured in an exhibition event against Jones Jr in 2020.
      He reportedly pocketed £7.4million from the fight,that ended in a draw, and he alleged that he was still owed money 12 months after.

      Tyson and Jones Jr never met during their professional careers.
      However, Iron Mike did fight Holyfield twice, first losing to him in 1996 to give up his WBA heavyweight title.
      The pair then had an infamous rematch a year later when Tyson was disqualified for biting his opponent’s ear.
      A third clash between the rivals was discussed in 2021 but failed to materialise.
      Jones Jr last stepped in the ring for a comeback fight against Anthony Pettis earlier this month, which he lost.
      Meanwhile, Holyfield has fought once since hanging up his gloves, losing to ex-UFC star Vitor Belfort in 2021.

      Anthony Joshua branded a LIAR over fight date as Dillian Whyte says ‘he thinks he’s a mystery man but he’s just strange’

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has “lied” by claiming he will not fight until December, says heavyweight rival Dillian Whyte.AJ, 33, returned to the ring earlier this month with a points victory over Jermaine Franklin.

      After his comeback win, the plan for Joshua was to fight in the summer and at the end of the year as his team eyed an active 2023.
      But then last week the Olympic gold medallist revealed on social media he does not plan to step back into the ring until December.
      However, Whyte, 35, who has been linked with a fight against Joshua, is unconvinced AJ will wait until the end of the year.
      When discussing Joshua’s plan to return in December, he told iFL TV: “That’s a lie. Joshua ain’t gonna wait until December to fight. If he’s not injured, why would he wait until December to fight?
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Joshua just thinks he’s some sort of mystery man nowadays. He thinks he’s f*****g Martin Luther King or something, you know.
      “No-one believes it. Anyone that believes that is an idiot. Why would he not fight until December when he can potentially get three fights this year?”
      Asked why Joshua would claim he was not fighting until December, Whyte added: “He’s just trying to create some sort of mystery.
      “He’s a strange guy. He’s just doing some strange stuff, man.

      “He’s definitely going to fight before December, 100 per cent.”
      Whyte went on to insist he is open to a third fight with Joshua – with the pair having met previously in the amateur and professional ranks.
      Whyte beat AJ when the pair battled it out in the amateurs.
      Then in 2015, Joshua got his revenge by stopping his British rival in the seventh round of their grudge match at the O2.
      Since then, Joshua has gone on to become a two-time world heavyweight champion, before suffering back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
      Whyte has also secured some impressive victories against the likes of Derek Chisora, Joseph Parker and Alexander Povetkin.
      But he was outclassed and knocked out by Tyson Fury in April last year.
      He returned to the ring in November, clinching a majority decision win over Franklin. More

      Mike Tyson reveals he ‘felt himself dying’ as boxing legend opens up on his biggest health fear

      by

      MIKE TYSON has revealed that he “felt himself dying” after he had piled on the pounds following retirement.And the “Baddest Man on the Planet” has also shed light on his biggest health fear.

      Tyson took the boxing world by storm in the 1980s with his explosive style and lethal power earning him the nickname “Iron Mike”.
      He still holds the record as the youngest world boxing champion, having won his title at the age of 20.
      The American became WBC world champion in 1986 and soon added the WBA and IBF titles to his WBC crown, making him the undisputed champion of the world.
      In 1990, he suffered his first defeat when he lost to James “Buster” Douglas in Tokyo and then his boxing career was put on hold in 1991 when he was sentenced to six years in prison for a sexual assault.
      READ MORE ON MIKE TYSON
      When he returned to the ring in 1996 he won the WBC and WBA titles with wins over Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon.
      The two-time heavyweight champion lost successive fights to Evander Holyfield in 1996 and 1997 before a crushing defeat to Lennox Lewis in 2002.
      Two further back-to-back defeats against Danny Williams and Kevin McBride led to Mike Tyson calling time on his boxing career in 2005 with a record of 50 wins and 6 losses, with 44 of these victories coming by knockout.
      He went on to star in Hollywood films The Hangover and The Hangover Part 2, starring alongside Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis but during that time away from the ring he piled on the pounds and says he was at the 400lb mark.

      And during his latest episode of Hotboxin with Mike Tyson podcast he opened up about the time he was obese.
      He said: “I felt myself dying. You know I know what it’s like. I’ve been 400 pounds before.
      “I had family members that died of obesity and stuff like that.
      “I’m scared of that stuff, I stopped eating, I’m scared, I saw what people in my family went through. That’s my biggest fear. Obesity.”
      Tyson, who made a stunning return and got in incredible shape for an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in 2020, also recently open up about death.
      He said: “We are all going to die, one day, of course. When I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face. And say wow that my expiration date is coming close really soon.”

      Tyson Fury to hold talks over Zhilei Zhang fight in mega-money deal with two venues in China being touted

      by

      TYSON FURY could be lured out of his latest retirement lull with a mega-money trip to China.The cash-crazed 34-year-old WBC champ blew the undisputed decider with WBA, IBF and WBO king Oleksandr Usyk by moving the goalposts over money.

      And the undefeated 6ft 9in showman has been missing in action ever since that rank disappointment stunk out the sport, taking in trips to Italy and Monaco.
      But following his ruthless six-round slashing of Joe Joyce,Chinese southpaw sensation Zhilei Zhang is now a major heavyweight draw and overdue a fight in his home nation.
      The 39-year-old 2008 Olympic silver winner used his monstrous left hand to leave the Juggernaut’s right eye a bloody mess and earn himself a promotional deal with Fury’s hall-of-fame matchmaker Frank Warren.
      The Putney ace – who was finally getting the praise and profile he deserves – does have the right to a rematch and thankfully did not suffer any fractures to his swollen face.

      But ‘Big Bang’ instantly turned his attention to a showdown with his new stablemate, with the 80,000-seater Beijing Bird’s Nest or the MGM casino in Macau possible venues for the giant showdown.
      Zhang, who gets around 60 million compatriots watching his fights on TikTok, said: “If my team can get me the Fury fight, then let’s do that.
      “Fury or the rematch, either way, I can do whatever they want.
      “I believe I can beat Fury, I believe I can knock him out.

      “He doesn’t have the same chin that Joyce has, he will go down.”
      It was horrible watching granite-chinned Joyce, 37, take such punishment right from the opening bell.
      His freakish resilience meant he kept coming back for more and more of 19st Zhang’s savage left hands.
      Dillian Whyte was ringside and the plan seemed to be for the Brixton Body Snatcher and Joyce to build a summer showdown.
      But now the 2016 Rio silver winner – who was cruelly robbed of gold by corrupt judging – will have to rebuild after his infamously slow starts finally caught up with him.

      Zhang is now a red-hot heavyweight commodity and should have an unbeaten record after a very dodgy Saudi Arabia decision cost him another high-profile win against Filip Hrgovic in August.
      After a night of deserved celebrating and a trip to the London Stadium to watch West Ham vs Arsenal, Zhang manager Tommy Lane, son of American refereeing legend Miles, said: “Zhang Zhilei has taken on two really tough tests in the past year,
      “That most top heavyweights have shied away from,and he beat both of them up.
