Mike Tyson has had the opportunity to return a new one to the ring against one of Mma's greatest hunters ever.
The legendary heavyweight boxing champion came back to the sport infamous in November to face Jake Paul in a bizarre super fight that attracted more than 100 million viewers on Netflix. However, he did not look too hot after the competition had to be delayed beyond his 58th birthday due to several health problems.
Now he gets the chance to take on a slightly more challenge for the age of the head of the Alash Pride League of Kazakhstan. He would greatly accept a legendary heavyweight from the MMA world, who, according to Joe Rogan, said it was the greatest of all time, even though he never fights in the UFC.
Mike Tyson offered comeback against Fedor Emelianenko
Despite how difficult to look at his fight with Jake Paul, there was still great interest in seeing Mike Tyson fighting again. He is one of the most popular hunters of all time and intrigues fans, even now when he pushes to 60 years old.
And he could be matched with the legendary MMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko through Kazakh promotion Alash Pride FC. They even have a date for an event that they would like to run that would be conducted by the duo.
APL President, Alimzhan Bektaev, said to the press yesterday: “We are planning to plan a match between Mike Tyson and Fedor Emeliansko. Work in this direction is already going on … The tournament, where we want to invite Mike Tyson, is planned for December.”
Fedor Emeliansko has previously discussed Mike Tyson fight
When Tyson made his first ring against Roy Jones JR for an exhibition from the Covid era, Emelianenko was an avid viewer. The competition sold 1.8 million pay-per-views and led to a number of big offers, including a first look at a fight between the two MMA-Groten.

During an appearance on the MMA hour, Emelianenko was asked about the potential of a fight in 2023, and host Ariel Helwani told: “We watched the fight on TV by Roy Jr. vs. Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson would be an interesting fight.
“He has a big name, he is a legend … It would be interesting because you can see many of his videos on YouTube and everywhere he is still in good condition. He still works, he still has the same power.”
