Mike Tyson's world tour? Any ideas.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 26 Sep 2006, 13:55

Reading on Fightnews, it appears a press conference has been announced on Thursday to announce a thing called "Mike Tyson's world tour".... I assumed it would just be an after dinner speaking tour or maybe Tyson would be touring his training session which are currently being showcased in a Las Vegas Hotel.

However, a little bit worrying is that Jeff Fenech and the comebacking Paul Sparaforda will also be in the press conference.... I just hope this isn't a comeback.

I think he is boxing exhibition fights on Pride MMA cards (boxing fights) - it was announced a little while back.

I'd like to see Butterbean vs Tyson in a 1 round fight....

Come on - you know you'd watch it!

Butterbean shadow boxing is one round fight.

I should think this has something to do with Joe Egan's publicity boys as well, I have contact who published Joe's book, I could get in touch with him and find out about it if you want.

My understanding is the same as Nicks - Tyson is scheduled to box 'exhibition' boxing matches for the Pride FC organisation.

Pride are due to launch their first US card at the back end of Oct so there is a fair chance that Tyson will feature there.

I'd hate to see it , but wouldn't be surprised to see Tyson in one of these MMA or cage fights.

I doubt that will happen, maybe with special standup rules it could happen. Has been done before. Imagine even this version of Tyson clocking someone on the chin with 4 oz gloves on!

Up to now Tyson has been quite explicit in his insistence that he wont fight under MMA rules.

Tyson enjoys MMA and appreciates the skills involved so I doubt he wants the potential embarrasement of being G n P'ed or submitted.

He is sticking to what he knows and is (still relatively) good at.

I'm flabberghasted that people are still interested in scrapiron Mike, or would want to see him fall about in some exhibition match... my overwhelming feeling about Tyson now is one of absolute boredome...

Well, its been confirmed it will be a series of exhibition 4 round BOXING bouts, starting off with Correy T Rex Sanders.

Paul Sparaforda is boxing for real on the card.

Jeff Fenech will be on hand, that man is going down by my estimation.... as long as Tyson is still fooling around with boxing, whether it is exhibition, paid training sessions etc - the less likely he will earn a crust as anything but a fighter. Maybe he would be unreliable, but thus far he has been a fantastic TV fight analyser.

Jeff Fenech shouldn't have conned the fans regarding Tyson vs McBride and he shouldn't want to be part of this.

Exhibition or not, if Tyson flatterns Sanders in one.... whats the odd King will come in for Tyson vs Valuev.

As Kimbo Slice would say "a nigaz got to eat".

How else is a broke Mike Tyson ghoing to make any decent money?

Become a bank manager? Set up an accountacy firm?...

He is a fighter. Its all he knows and its what he does best.

Its a sad, all too familiar end.

So are they going to do a waltz exhibition style? Or will Tyson come out blazing in round 1 only to revert to dancing in round 2 once he's blown his stack?
