Tocha told The Mirror: “At the end he kind of let us know there’s another one coming. “Let me put it this way, if Tyson trains correctly and prepares himself, he should take on another fight. READ MORE IN BOXING”A more serious fighter, a more serious opponent, and a bigger money maker. Most probably it’s going to be Evander after all. “He and Evander – after what happened to his ear and all that.

What do people expect him to do, really? “I mean, good luck to him. He is a great warrior. He is a big champion and he’s one of the biggest, if not the biggest name in boxing. “But you’ve got to understand the fighter’s game and at that age, you’re not supposed to be in the ring, even if you’re spectacular. “It’s just not so good for the brain.” Tyson bit Evander Holyfield in their 1997 rematchCredit: AFPBut they became friends in later yearsCredit: RexActor Paulo Tocha More
