Mike Tyson is easily one of the most legendary fighters of all time and despite being 53 years old, there is still an appetite for him to come back to fighting. Recently, Tyson admitted his desire to get back into the ring and has also been posting training videos of himself where he looks like an absolute menace. His punching power is still scary and if he were to fight again today, he could do some serious damage.
Now, Tyson is getting offers from all around the world, to fight again. In fact, he recently received a lucrative offer from David Feldman who is the president of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships. It is being reported that the deal is upwards of $20 million guaranteed and as Feldman explained, Tyson's recent videos are what propelled him to reach out.
“The excitement the whole world was getting from Mike’s training videos, led us to make him an offer,” Feldman told MMA Fighting. “He’s a legend and it’s just a honor to be able to talk with his team. We will see where things go from here, it will be an honor to work with Mike in any scenario.”
Bare-knuckle fighting would certainly be a bit of a stretch for Tyson although perhaps he would be looking to get involved in some light charity matches, with gloves on. As of right now, it remains to be seen what he will do next.

Logan Paul Claims Antonio Brown Fight Is Close To Being A Reality
Logan Paul wants the smoke.
Logan Paul has been delving into the world of boxing for a while now and he has gotten quite good at it. Despite losing to fellow YouTuber KSI a while back, Paul is ready to get back in the ring and this time around, he has his sights set on NFL wide receiver, Antonio Brown. AB eventually replied to Paul on Twitter earlier this week and fans have been anticipating a potential fight ever since.
In a recent interview with TMZ, Paul spoke about a fight with AB and surprisingly, he said it’s a realistic possibility. “I’m f**king serious, bro. You know how serious I take fighting. I think we might be closer than anyone expects.”
Paul also went on to say that a fight between the two would be box office and that a lot of people would be down to see it. Both Paul and Brown are polarizing figures which makes the fight more attractive to potential viewers.
“Whether you like him or you hate him, you’re gonna pay to see him beat me up, whether you like me or hate me. Or, you’re going to see him get beat up and it goes the same for me,” Paul said. “In so many ways, this fight is so right.”
Would you want to see this fight and if so, who do you think would win?
