Mike Tyson is unlikely to fight again

'Iron Mike' retired from professional boxing in 2005, following a loss to Kevin McBride. However, Tyson treated his fans once again after returning to the boxing ring in 2020 to fight Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout.

The event went on to become a hit, reportedly selling 1.6 million pay-per-view buys. Since the bout, Tyson has been rumored to dabble again in exhibition bouts, with Jake Paul a potential opponent. However, the greater likelihood is that the legendary boxer will hang up his gloves for good.

While appearing on an episode of the Full Send Podcast in January, Mike Tyson discussed his future plans and potential return to the ring. The former Heavyweight Boxing Champion suggested that the exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. was just to have fun. However, people have started to make it more about the money, which has disinterested Tyson:

"Guys want to fight me for 100 million bucks. I don't think I'll ever do stuff like that anymore. I wanted to do it the first time just for fun, just to have fun and then some people took it to another level and made it financial and then the fun went out of it."
