Mike Tyson has been teasing fans recently about a potential comeback, and fans got a glimpse this week of what that could entail. The former heavyweight boxing champion has been sharing videos of himself working out, while teasing a potential fight in the future. However, on Wednesday, Tyson stunned viewers when he appeared to choose a new career as a professional wrestler.
Though he is still promoting a potential boxing match in the near future, with a still to be determined opponent, Mike Tyson got back into the ring this week, albeit a wrestling ring. Tyson appeared alongside professional wrestler Chris Jericho as part of Wednesday’s All Elite Wrestling show. Tyson took on Jericho with UFC legends Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort and Henry Cejudo by his side.
Tyson and Jericho have a rivalry that goes back years to Jericho’s time in WWE. While Tyson appeared to be in great shape, one of the highlights came when he failed to fully rip off his shirt, instead flexing to show off his physique. It is unknown if more fights are in store for Tyson, but if no one wants to box the 53 year old; at least he has wrestling to fall back on.
