“Iron” Mike Tyson retired from boxing after losing in six rounds Kevin McBride in 2005. The 53-year-old WWE Hall of Famer, though has indicated he wants to return to the ring for charity exhibition fights after having stem cell research therapy, and his recent training videos have had fans salivating at the thought of watching the one time “The Baddest Man on the Planet” compete again.
Speculation is Tyson has received many offers, but so far, the most lucrative and exciting is from the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, who pride themselves on being the world’s first legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare-knuckle fighting promotion. BKFC’s President David Feldman has told Heavy.com that he has offered Tyson $20 million and given him the option to select any fighter on the roster to be his opponent.
Despite the colossal amount of money offered, it does feel like a long shot, but former two-time heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs did just sign with BKFC in April and could make for the ideal opponent for Tyson, and be a massive hit on PPV out of curiosity alone.
