Allora Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It has been reported in the media that $onny Bill Williams will fight Iron Mike Tyson for 1-3 million. Apparently he has a clause in his contract to allow him to Box in the off season and Toronto have given the fight its blessing. Good luck Sonny, there is a recent clip of Tyson hitting the training pads and he looked like he can still move. Talent is secondary to whether players are confident.

HKR AWAY DAYS Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Get as much publicity out of this as you possibly can, Rugby League because it simply isn't happening. Nobody in their right mind let's Tyson get back in there. He was gone 15 years ago. It is OK looking good on the bags and pads but there are OAPs who look good on the bags and pads too. People who say Tyson will destroy SBW are wrong and are only saying it because it is Mike Tyson. Sport doesn't have or need to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’d put this with the talk about Eubank and Benn fighting again that was talked about earlier this year. I loved watching them in their prime but apart from the car crash value this really is something I don’t need to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moorside roughyed Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 It definitely won't happen. If it did I'm of the opinion that Sonny Bill wouldn't be playing rugby for quite some time. And that goes for any other rugby player. They'd get pummelled. The speed and power demonstrated by Tyson for a 53 year old was amazing. But he hasn't been hit back yet, for me that's the big question. In any case he only wants to do exhibitions. I don't think Fury or Joshua will be overly concerned. But yes I'd love to see him in action again, but that's just me being a massive Mike Tyson fan,seeing him in his pomp and where he ended up was really sad. For me he would've been the greatest boxer ever if he could've kept his head straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This would probably be the most anticipated match up since Rocky Balboa took on Thunderlips.
