It’s fair to say former heavyweight champion George Foreman was impressed with Mike Tyson’s comeback.

Ben Askren was called out by Jake Paul after the YouTube boxer’s victory over Nate Robinson.

“Iron” Mike Tyson is a much more peaceful man during these current times. In the 90s, no man would dare test Tyson with empty threats on social media if it existed at the time. And certainly, no fan would be dumb enough to try and start a physical altercation with Tyson. However, at the age
Before Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. in his boxing comeback, there was another opponent that many people wanted him to face first. That man was none other than his former foe Evander Holyfield.
