Mike Tyson return: Tyson Fury says he was ready to face Mike Tyson on his return

While Tyson Fury is a self-proclaimed fan of Mike Tyson, the undefeated Briton did not hesitate to pick a fight against his idol. While interacting with BT Sport, Tyson Fury revealed that he received a phone call with a chance to fight Mike Tyson and immediately accepted the offer. However, he later found out that Mike Tyson could potentially go up against Evander Holyfield since the 57-year old also announced his in-ring return after Mike Tyson.

"I think he's definitely serious about doing some fights or whatever. He's fought Holyfield twice so they're both old now, aren't they? I think they're a bit long in the teeth, but then again who am I to say anything, what anybody's capable of after everybody's unbelievable stories. I wouldn't try and kill anybody's dreams of doing anything they want if they're both fit to fight and medically fit then let them do what they've got to do, it's their life, not mine." said Tyson Fury to BT Sport.
