JAKARTA - Mike Tyson is a world boxing legend who has faced a number of famous names. Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis are a row of world-class boxers he faces.
However, Tyson made a surprising statement when asked who was the toughest opponent in his career. Tyson made the famous boxer, Pinklon Thomas, the toughest fight of his career.
Tyson is still the youngest heavyweight champion in history, after KO in 1986 over Trevor Berbick, who is only 20 years old.
Iron Mike beat Thomas in the sixth round of their 1987 fight, but one combination blow left a mark in the memory.
"I think Pinklon Thomas, he is my toughest opponent," Tyson said when asked by History Bites about his toughest fight.
"I never thought about it, but two years ago I watched the tape, a friend of mine told me to watch it. I hit him with seven punches, right on his face, he fell but it was seven punches!"
"Seven punches, everything was as strong as I could and the last one he fainted. I thought 'Oh my God, it was my toughest fight, he took Seventeen on the chin!'," he continued.
In his latest statement, Tyson admitted that he could have come back into the ring. At the age of 56, he is aiming for two other legendary boxers to become opponents.
To TMZ, Tyson admitted that he was interested in fighting Roy Jones Jr and Evander Holyfield. Tyson's desire cannot be separated from his current financial condition.
