\u201cI was really ill,\u201d Tyson told Hard Rock Bet<\/a>. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to use that for an excuse, but I had some real bad health problems, but I\u2019m fine now. I have no excuses. I feel good right now, this is the best I\u2019ve felt. I can\u2019t wait to start getting in the ring. I learned [a lot] from my last fight. I left a lot of my fight in the gym. I worked too hard. I was too intense; I was too extreme. I need to relax more. That\u2019s what I always believe. I need to relax more. I\u2019m just hoping, after this Floyd fight, maybe we can have a rematch. Yes, I would be interested in that. He did well, but I want to try it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the 59 year-old Tyson can lace up the gloves against Paul, he\u2019ll first need to get through Floyd Mayweather next spring<\/a>. \u201cIron\u201d was unable to confirm an exact date, but insists his \u201cMoney\u201d fight<\/a> is still on the table. In addition, the former WBC heavyweight champion is expecting to level up when he returns to the \u201csweet science.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really serious,\u201d Tyson said about his Mayweather matchup. \u201cIt\u2019s going to supersede all the fights and all the glory he had before this. This is taking boxing to a new level. Almost God status. It looks like he\u2019s going to get knocked out. Maybe in March or April. I think I got a pretty decent relationship with him. I don\u2019t hate him, you know what I\u2019m speaking? I don\u2019t have any harsh feelings. This is what fighting\u2019s all about. It\u2019s about business. He\u2019s [Floyd] going be a fighter for so long, he\u2019s going to be a businessman forever and when you combine the two, you know, you\u2019re very lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expect more details on his upcoming Mayweather fight in early 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI was really ill,\u201d Tyson told Hard Rock Bet. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to use that for an excuse,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,30874,30367,101,104185,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-249717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news-results","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-sports","tag-tyson-vs-paul-latest-news-hub","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
