Mike Tyson also making a comeback?
According to El Nuevo Dia, he's signed to fight Nenad Stankovich in Belgrade on December 20. Lots of quotes from Stankovich, but noticably absent are any quotes from Tyson, so call me very skeptical for now. After the recent tragedy in his life, I'd be surprised to see Tyson coming back, but he's surprised us all many times before.

Given the last time I saw Tyson on TV…. he looked grossly overweight, I don’t know anything about this other guy but if is in any shape it all… it shouldn’t be much of a fight unless Tyson has dropped quite a few pounds.
"I am going to give him a lesson in good behavior. First, I wanted to knock him out in the first round. But now I want to make it a long process and I want to enjoy it, and then I will knock him out in the 12th round."

Tyson-Valuev?
I can hear it already…and your winner, and now 3 TIME HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD….IRON. MIKE. TYYYYSONNN!
/amazing how plausible this seemingly implausible situation is when that big 7-foot circus act becomes involved
//how “in-shape” would the 43-year old Kid Dynamite have to be to pull that off anyhow?

I had to check the calender to make sure its not 1st of April. Tyson is overweight and i dout has seen a boxing gym in awhile. This would just be an attention seaker wishing to get some publisity off Tyson’s name

Tyson can’t fight. He’s on so many head-meds he can’t even get it up anymore. That’s also the reason he’s so fat. This is just made up B.S. from this Stankovich mofo.

Mike Tyson will never fight professionally again because he’s too old, too overweight, too medicated, and too not interested in ever fighting again. The man seems to have found some approximation of peace in his life and I really wish these rumors would stop coming up, so he could stop calling his managers once or twice a year and have to have some denials sent around.

I don’t think it’s so outrageous.
Getting in shape and age are trivial issues when you consider the problems hes had from a mental perspective.
If he misses boxing and has finally found some peace and got his mind in order I wouldn’t put it past him to make a small come back.

Dude's 43
There’s no reason for him to be fighting, especially not against a no-name in Serbia for no real money.
