Boston Boxing Promotions has announced an offer of $1.1million to Tyson to fight the 51-year-old Massachusetts native, who has a 47-7 boxing record.
Tyson was making his return after a four-year layoff for a prison sentence but it did not show and against his opponent, who came into the fight on a 12-match winning streak.
However, 'Iron' Mike Tyson has continued his impressive training routine ahead of his return to the rings 15 years after announcing his retirement.
The 53-year-old recently confirmed that he has offers to step back into the rings but insisted that he will not fight a non-boxer. He posted a few video clips while training and showing the world that he still has the skills and the swiftness to knock any opposition out.
Tyson who remains the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title took his training to the next level as he flaunts his broad shoulders and huge biceps which certainly intimidate any opponent.
Daily Star claims the 53-year-old still has the devastating punching power he owned during his peak in the late eighties but like many sports stars, Tyson got out of shape after retiring.
