Mike Tyson already made a return to boxing when he fought Roy Jones Jr. back in 2020, an event that was made possible with absolutely no people in the stands that also happened to launch Jake Paul’s boxing career.

Since then, Tyson hadn’t been part of another boxing event but that will change next Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A place where none other than Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is doing a crossover fight against MMA Heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou. But contrary to what people might think, Mike Tyson is not supporting Tyson Fury during this fight. Quite the opposite, he will be on Frnacis Ngannou’s corner for this event and he is feeling honored to have helped the Cameroonian during his training.

Mike Tyson still has an incredible physique

Leading up to this fight, Tyson Fury wanted to remind people he is still in impressive shape despite pushing 58 years old. Through his various social media outlets, he posted a picture where he shows how ripped he still is with the following caption: “Still got it.” And that he does, Mike no longer trains everyday as he did leading up to the fight against Roy Jones Jr. But he keeps himself in good shape simply because it’s the smart thing to do at his age. It is currently unknown if he will ever jump back on the ring but there are plenty of rumors that suggest he might be interested in doing so. His possible opponents could be many but there is one who may pique his interest above the rest.

Forget John Fury, Mike Tyson would obliterate him if they got inside a ring to fight each other. The one fighter who could possibly convince him to return to a boxing match is either one of the two Paul brothers. Whether it’s Jake or Logan, Mike Tyson wouldn’t care which of those two he gets to smack around a ring for a few rounds. While that happens, Mike Tyson will be present next weekend on Francis Ngannou’s corner after helping him prepare to fight Tyson Fury. Will the style from Cus D’Amato school of boxing serve Ngannou well next weekend? Or is this shool made for boxers of a lower height?
