Mike Tyson's potential return to boxing after retiring 15 years ago appears to be gathering pace after the 53-year-old declared 'I'm back' in a ferocious training clip this week.
'Iron Mike' became the youngest heavyweight champion in history, aged just 20-years-old when he knocked out Trevor Berbick in just five minutes and 35 seconds back in 1986.
Following a 58-fight career, Tyson eventually called it quits in 2005 with a record of 50 wins and six defeats, three of which came in his final four fights.
However, after Tyson shared a fearsome training video online, talks of a highly-anticipated return has heightened and it's not just 'Iron Mike' looking to get back into the ring.
Evander Holyfield, who defeated Tyson twice in the back-end of the 1990s, has recently spoken of his intention to return in a fight for charity, specifically Unite4OurFight - who are providing social and emotional support during the Covid-19 pandemic.
And the 57-year-old, still baring the wound of Tyson's infamous ear bite in their second meeting, has not ruled out a trilogy fight.
He told Sky Sports News: "I don't know, you would have to ask him! I wouldn't ask nobody to do anything they don't want to do. But it's for charity. If we can work something out that works for everybody then it's a win-win-win."
Lennox Lewis, who also defeated Tyson - although towards the conclusion of his career in 2002 - has also thrown himself into the mix, declaring on Twitter that he has also been training.
