Mike Tyson isn’t ruling out one more huge moment in the ring, and this time his focus is on fellow legend Floyd Mayweather.
The two boxing greats have sparked speculation that they might finally square off, and Tyson sounds ready for it.
In a recent chat with Hard Rock Bet, Tyson said the idea for the potential match actually came from Mayweather.
“Floyd wanted to fight me,” he revealed. “I think I’ve got a decent relationship with him. I don’t hate him. No harsh feelings.”
Tyson, 59, said the matchup would be monumental for the sport.
“It’s capable of superseding all my fights,” he explained. “This is taking boxing to a new level.”
And when it comes to predicting the outcome, Tyson didn’t hold back his confidence.
“It looks like he’s going to get knocked out,” he said.
The heavyweight icon believes the timing could work out soon. He suggested that the possible fight might happen “maybe in March or April.”
Mayweather, 48, added fuel to the buzz back in September when he told Fight Hype, “We getting ready!”
While final details are still being sorted out, Tyson appears eager to make it happen.
His most recent fight was against Jake Paul last year, which ended in a loss. But Tyson says that experience only made him sharper and more self-aware.
“I learned a lot from my last fight,” he admitted. “I left a lot of my fight in the gym. I worked too hard. I was too intense; I was too extreme. I need to relax more. That’s what I always believe. I need to relax more.”
