Boxing legends of the past returning to the sport has been happening rather frequently in recent times in boxing across the board.
Obviously Mike Tyson coming back last year against Jake Paul was big news but years before that he came back against Roy Jones in something that was well-received, generally speaking in sport and beyond.
As regards last year, the reality was Tyson nearly died the year of the Paul fight in 2024 fight with a major health scare losing pints of blood — so was a winner to make it fight night alone in a huge success for Netflix in one of the most streamed sports events ever online.
This alone will see the likes of Netflix and other companies do more things similar in 2025, guaranteed.
Legends sell and if it is safe for them to do so and just exhibitions, were they cannot be hurt, what harm.
Always with the caveat of health of the fighters put first and foremost, though.
People love boxing legends around the world and always will do — so expect more exhibitions and so on in 2025.
