Mike Tyson teases a feud with Chris Jericho

Fast-forward to 2020, Mike Tyson once again appears to be getting in a feud with Chris Jericho as he interrupted Jericho's segment with the Inner Circle during the closing stages of AEW Dynamite. 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' made his way with a bunch of his mates that also included Vitor Belfort and UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo. While Chris Jericho was hoping for an apology for the 2010 incident, Tyson rather chose to instigate a brawl between both parties.

It appears highly likely that Mike Tyson and Chris Jericho will be facing each other inside the squared circle. Maybe, fans would get a glimpse of Tyson's wrestling skills before he makes his much-anticipated return to boxing.
