Fresh from WBN revealing the ideal opponent for Mike Tyson and his upcoming exhibition comeback, former opponent Danny Williams has since made official contact.
Williams was named as a top opponent for Tyson to attempt to exact revenge for his 2004 loss against the ex-British heavyweight champion.
Williams beat Tyson in a shocking clash at Louisville’s Freedom Hall State Fairground. The loss turned out to be the penultimate nail in the coffin of Tyson’s career.
One of only five men to inflict a reverse on Tyson’s record, Williams is the only active boxer of the quintet.
Mike Tyson vs Danny Williams II
Fighting last November, Williams scored the 54th professional triumph. He is now ready to face Tyson again, once the American accepts his advances.
“I’m very interested in facing Mike Tyson again,” Williams exclusively told World Boxing News.
“I can confirm that a few of my agents have put my name up to fight ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. We are still awaiting an answer, but it’s definitely a fight I want.”
Any ‘three or four-round return by Tyson would instantly command a Pay-Per-View audience as the one-time ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ looks to give something back.
It’s been noted that Tyson is willing to don the gloves again to raise as much money as possible. However, specific causes are yet to be confirmed.
For his part, ‘The Brixton Bomber’ would undoubtedly be on board and gives Tyson an immediate option to choose from as training continues.

The other would be Evander Holyfield. A legend who defeated Tyson twice, secondly in their world-famous ‘Bite Fite.’
Holyfield has eluded to the fact he may yet be ready to launch a comeback himself, having posted on social media as Tyson’s camp video went viral.
Teasing fans, Holyfield could be ready to end his hiatus after competing in charity bouts in the past.
Taking to his social media accounts, Holyfield reminded everyone of his considerable achievements recently.
“In my career, my goal was always to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. I became it. Set your goals. But work to achieve them,” said the four-time world heavyweight champion.
Whether it’s Williams, Holyfield, or anyone else, Tyson’s next fight will be one hot ticket!
