Mike Tyson has been vocal about his high hopes for Dana White’s new venture into boxing. The UFC CEO made a big entrance into the sport by promoting the highly anticipated Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford bout in September.

Tyson retired from boxing in 2005 at age 39 after his loss to Kevin McBride, but the famed boxer returned to the ring for an exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020 and a match against YouTube star Jake Paul in 2024, when he was 58.

Mike Tyson scored a first-round knockout win when he made his boxing debut in March 1985. Hector Mercedes only managed to survive 107 seconds with the teenager nicknamed ‘Kid Dynamite’. The Hall of Famer says the toughest part of his fight with Mercedes happened in the locker room.

Heavyweight great Mike Tyson believes one Mexican star in particular was a better fighter than Floyd Mayweather.

Almost a year after his exhibition loss to Jake Paul, Tyson is still going strong. He’s bringing back his one-man stage show following his 2013 hit Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth and even plans to fight 48-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition match next spring.

Mike Tyson admits that his "no socks" fighting style led to a persistent fungal infection that continues to plague him.

Tyson Fury chose to retire in Janaury after losing his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk but boxing legend Mike Tyson believes a comeback should be on the cards for him in 2026
