JAKARTA - Mike Tyson shocked the boxing world by announcing a rematch. But, not with Evander Holyfield.
Iron Mike (54) reveals he will fight another old rival, namely Lennox Lweis. The battle will be held this year.
"I'll fight Lennox Lewis ... in September!" Tyson told TMZ reporters reported by MARCA.
Lewis, a year over Tyson, has yet to comment on the rematch with the man he dropped in 2002.
Further details are still unknown, but it looks likely that Tyson will be involved in at least one historic rematch in the near future.

Earlier this month, in his Hotboxin' podcast, Tyson revealed that he was eyeing a fight against two of his former opponents, Holyfield and Lewis.
He also wants to face current world heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, in the near future.
“I want Holyfield and Lewis this year. I also want Fury. If I did that, I'd say, 'I'm just going to live life'", Tyson said.
Fury previously turned down an offer to meet Tyson in the ring and is now preparing to take on Anthony Joshua.
"There is talk about that. I was contacted by Mike Tyson's people, through FaceTime, Zoom calls, we made a phone call, it must have been real but it never happened", said Gypsy King as quoted by the Daily Star.
