JAKARTA - Mike Tyson looks still hungry in action in the boxing ring after the draw against Roy Jones Jr. so he is ready to fight again. According to talk SPORT, 'Iron' Mike's next opponent is likely Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.

Tyson is already channeling the proceeds from the fight against Roy Jones Jr. to a charity and he wants even more money to be raised for charity by holding more boxing fights.

According to talk SPORT, the 54-year-old boxer said he was ready to fight "once every two months" to support his charitable activities.

"This is better than for the championship. We are now for humanity," said Tyson.

"We can do good things for the world. We have to do it again. It should be competitive. I have fought 15 times a year," continued Tyson.

Jones Jr. is in no mood for a rematch, so Tyson can turn to Holyfield as his next opponent.

Holyfield, famous for being bitten in the ear by Tyson in the famous heavyweight fight in 1997, is currently trying to get fit again.

After finding out Tyson was in the boxing ring again, via social media, Holyfield declared that he was 'Ready for WAR' or ready to fight again.

"Yes, I want to box Mike. I can definitely handle him. But Mike wants that too," said Holyfield.

Another opponent of Tyson is Lennox Lewis, who also admits he is tempted to step up in the boxing ring again.

Lewis knocked out Tyson in 2002. The question is whether he wants to fight Tyson again.

Regarding this, to BT Sport, Lewis replied, "It looks like great fun".

"I could just come back (boxing). There are also talks with Riddick Bowe who still wants to fight me, so there is still unfinished work there."
