Mike Tyson Makes Bold Lennox Lewis Claim

One Mike Tyson leading the charge no less.

Old Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr last year. It did excellent numbers on pay per view.

An event that captured world attention but also one that delivered entertainment to those outside of boxing.

Now, speaking Tyson has told the world he wants a piece of Lennox Lewis in a rematch saying:

“I’m fighting Lennox Lewis in September baby! Evander is out! Lennox is in!”

Well, that was unexpected.

The pair fought for the title nearly twenty years ago.

Here’s what happened on that occasion when Tyson got knocked out by Lewis:
