Age ain\u2019t nothing but a number when it comes to Mike Tyson and his belief he can still take a punch at 59 years old.<\/p>\n
The former world heavyweight boxing<\/a> champion was a mainstay of the 1980s and 1990s fighting scene but remains one of the planet\u2019s best known living boxers, and continues to court opponents in the exhibition space (Roy Jones Jr) and fully sanctioning fighting (Jake Paul).<\/p>\n The 59-year-old is even expected to meet fellow Hall-of-Fame legend Floyd Mayweather in the middle of the ring this year.<\/p>\n And, if he does, he doesn\u2019t expect to take much damage \u2014 or, indeed, to do any.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not knocking out anybody, and no one is knocking me out.\u201d <\/p>\n CSI Sports are navigating Mayweather\u2019s comeback, according to a statement sent to Boxing Social earlier in the year.<\/p>\n The agreement includes Floyd\u2019s planned exhibition with Tyson, in addition to resuming \u201chis professional career.\u201d<\/p>\n The aboutface is a significant development considering Mayweather retired from the sport for a final time at 50-0 \u2014 as near to a punch perfect career as one could have. But he puts that unbeaten record on the line when he fights Manny Pacquiao in September at The Sphere in Las Vegas and, if successful, could fight again as part of the deal with CSI Sports.<\/p>\n First, though, is the Tyson show which remains without a date or location. \u201cWe\u2019re going to fight,\u201d Tyson insisted in his interview with The Ring. \u201cIt\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re two fighters \u2014 we\u2019re boxing,\u201d he said. \u201cThank God. I am so grateful for it.\u201d<\/p>\n MUST READ:<\/p>\n Shakur Stevenson Reacts to 3-Fight, $60m Zuffa Boxing Rumor<\/a><\/p>\n Jake Paul Advises MMA Fighters to Sign With Matchroom After Ronda Rousey Blasts UFC<\/a><\/p>\n
