Lennox Lewis said he would seriously consider a second-game match against Mike Tyson, a long-awaited rematch that would only happen in the immediate needs of the audience, requiring enough viewers willing to pay for it. The former heavyweight boxer exclusively told reporters: "If the public wants it, we may talk about contract details." ”
In June 2002, Lewis knocked Tyson unconscious in The 8th Round — despite some rough threats Tyson making during the fight — remember, Tyson had said he was going to "eat" Lennox's child — and in his current state, Lewis had actually settled the fight faster, and he had been spared.
After Tyson's comeback to do well against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, one would definitely love to see Mike "Iron Man" continue to be active in the ring. The problem is... Who will be Mike's next opponent? 55-year-old Lennox?
Lennox hasn't played in a full-fledged professional match since his 2003 victory over Vitaly Klitschenko, but he admits he'll consider a tie-break with Tyson. But only in the perfect case: "I don't know. There's really nothing in the boxing ring right now that can push me. How much people really want to see that game, but I don't know. ”
Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. each received a $1 million margin base, and their game brought more than $80 million in pay-per-view purchases, and how the exact $80 million was distributed has not been made public. Lewis, 55, said he wanted to see the details before agreeing to a comeback. By implication, if the appearance fee is attractive enough, he can come back.
Yang Hua, a well-known martial arts and fighting writer, analyzed that it is entirely possible for Tyson and Lewis to fight a second war, especially because of the recession of the epidemic in the United States, everyone is relatively tight on hand, since the comeback to fight a high-profile double war can make a lot of money, then why not do it? Whether Tyson and Lewis can fight or not, to put it bluntly, depends on the money. As early as a year ago, Lewis said that if he could get $100 million, he would be willing to come back and hit anyone.
