Mike Tyson Says He’s Open To Fighting Roy Jones Jr. And Former Rival Evander Holyfield: “I Could Be Persuaded” [Video]

Mike Tyson may be retired but is still open to getting in the ring with Roy Jones Jr.

TMZ recently caught up with the former heavyweight champ and asked if he would consider a rematch with Jones Jr., who he previously fought in 2020. Despite not being fully into boxing anymore, Tyson said he is open to the possibility,

“I could be persuaded,” the 56-year-old boxing legend said.

The outlet also asked Tyson if he would be interested in another rematch against his former rival Evander Holyfield and his answer remained the same.

Nevertheless, Tyson didn’t reveal the monetary amount he would require to agree to future fights with boxing legends, but he did mention that he has been approached by individuals in Saudi Arabia who are interested in his participation.

“I don’t know,” he said. “When I see the money people for the end of the product, my mind works clearer. I can’t express myself right now financially.”

In 1996 and 1997, Tyson had two memorable fights against Holyfield, but unfortunately lost both. In 2021, he had agreed to participate in an exhibition match with Holyfield but negotiations ended up falling apart. Tyson also took on Jones Jr. in a highly successful exhibition match in 2020.
