British boxing legend ready to come out of retirement for Mike Tyson fight - 'Let's have it!'

Lewis previously beat Tyson 22 years ago, with the 59-year-old winning via knockout in the eighth round.

And the Briton, speaking to TMZ, has now admitted he's keen to face the veteran for a second time.

"C'mon baby! Let's have it," he said when asked about a potential rematch.

It isn't the first time the pair have been rumoured to do battle once again. Back in 2021, Tyson said they were going to fight in September of that year.

Nothing really came of it, however, and Tyson's sights are set firmly on Paul for the time being.

It will be intriguing to see how the 58-year-old performs against his 27-year-old rival, especially due to the huge age gap between the two men.

Paul is a divisive figure in the sport but, with 10 victories from 11 bouts, can't be taken lightly.

Tyson struggled at times during his exhibition with Jones Jr back in 2020, with that showdown ending in a draw.

Yet he's leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of victory, with the boxing icon working extremely hard in the gym in order to boost his chances of winning the clash.

Meanwhile, Paul's manager recently addressed some of the controversy surrounding their fight.

"For Mike Tyson, this is his opportunity for redemption," he told the Hollywood Reporter.

"People remember his last fight with [Roy] Jones, sitting on a stool and not getting back up.
