Mike Tyson would love the chance for charity match-up with Anthony Joshua

Mike Tyson says he would relish a ‘mind-blowing’ charity match-up with Anthony Joshua.

The American boxing legend is due to face Roy Jones Jr in his return to the ring on November 28, although the coronavirus pandemic may yet hamper those plans.

And when asked whether he’d be interested in a charity bout with the current WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion, who aged 30 is 24 years his junior, Tyson was keen.

In an interview with iFL TV, he said: ‘I would love to do that. That would be mind-blowing.’

‘If doing that means we can have bigger charity exponents, well be it, I’m down to do that too. It’s entertainment, it’s just for charity – it’s for a good cause, but we’re giving our best.’

Tyson has regularly posted workout videos on his Instagram page over recent months and is in impressive condition.

The 54-year-old last fought professionally 15 years ago and no reputable governing body would sanction a competitive fight between him and AJ, although a glorified light sparring contest could be agreed to.
