Mike Tyson gives update on future plans, delivers Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury verdict

Mike Tyson reveals his admiration for Tyson Fury and talks desire to fight all over the world again

Heavyweight Mike Tyson has expressed his desire to 'fight all over the world' in the future after his exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr that will take place on November 28th.

'Iron' Tyson has been working hard in training camp and looks in tremendous shape sparking rumours of a permanent return to the sport, and organising an exhibition schedule in the future.

The legendary American fought 56 times during his professional career winning 50 of them bouts and 44 of the victories by way of knockout, and he has revealed he will not be holding back with the new eight round format and belt now on the line in his exhibition with Jones Jr.

He told ESPN: "It would be so awesome if we could do this all around the world and fight the best fighter in that country, exhibitions with this guy in that country, exhibitions all over the world, wouldn't that be great?"

"I might do this for a while. I wanted to fight a four-round exhibition. Next thing I know, I'm fighting Roy Jones, it's eight rounds and I've got three judges and I got a belt involved."

"Now you tell me, is this an exhibition?" he continued. "You tell me. What the f*ck is going on? I want an exhibition, now I got a belt involved."

The 5'10 heavyweight also highlighted his admiration for Tyson Fury quoting his size and boxing ability, but was less convinced by his potential rival Anthony Joshua.

"He is very good. He looks like he's not intimidating but he's really elusive, he really knows how to box.

"He's really smart and he's really difficult to hit and he's 7ft, damn near. He's a monster."

"Joshua is well I don't think he's a paper champion," he said. "I just think he's a big guy - it's hard to fight, being that big. It's very difficult being that big and having to fight a smaller guy.

Tyson also delivered his verdict on Deontay Wilder as his situation continues to remain unclear after his defeat in the second fight against Tyson Fury.

"Just keep on fighting. Fight [Fury] a third time. Whenever you have an opportunity to fight for the title, he should fight.

"We can only do this for a certain amount of time in our life and then we can't do it anymore. So we have to do it as much as we can before we end this stuff."
