The Legendary Boxer, Mike Tyson is eyeing a remarkable showdown with Anthony Joshua.
The former heavyweight champion is set for a historic comeback to the ring in November for a crossover clash with Jake Paul.
Iron Mike has regained full for his first foray into the ring since his Covid clash with Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.
The International Boxing Hall of Famer, 57, has revealed plans to share the ring with Joshua albeit in a charity bout.
Report has it that when asked about the prospect of sharing the ring with AJ for a good cause, he said, “I’m very interested.
“If doing that means we can have a bigger charity exponent, well so be it, I’m down to do that, too.
“I would love to (fight Joshua). That would be mind-blowing.”
Before he can consider a charity clash with Joshua, Tyson must first get through YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul – who will be 31 years his junior on fight night.
And former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua has shown his enormous concern for Tyson’s health.
During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, the 34-year-old said, “He’s (Mike Tyson) older now.
“I pray that he comes out fit and healthy. I think Jake Paul because of youth – that’s the only thing.”
The booking of Tyson vs Paul raised concerns in the boxing community, with fans publicly venting their disgust at the latter.
But Joshua, surprisingly, is a fan of Paul’s gimmick-driven fights.
He said, “I personally think it’s really good.
“I think the boxing hardcore, they don’t like it because they think, ‘Why are they disrespecting our sport?’
“But I think that person brings all these people into boxing which benefits everyone else. Everyone viewing helps.”
