迈克·泰森将于五月下旬在佛罗里达州迈阿密的硬石体育场复出
前无可争议的重量级拳王迈克·泰森说他想很快重返拳台，这可不是开玩笑。
去年年底，泰森结束了15年的退役生涯，与未来的名人堂成员小罗伊·琼斯(Roy Jones Jr.)在一场表演赛中展开对决。他向全世界宣布，在可预见的未来，他将继续举办他的展览活动。
尽管泰森说他想继续活跃在拳击场上，但他对下一场比赛的时间和对手只字不提。也就是说，直到现在。虽然他没有透露他的下一个对手将是谁，但他给出了一个日期和地点，告诉粉丝们什么时候可以期待他重回拳台。
“5月29日吧，”泰森在他的播客“Hotboxin”上说，“Mike Tyson和他的嘉宾Canelo Alvarez。”“你曾经在同一个舞台上战斗过。”
对于阿尔瓦雷斯来说，这位联合超级中量级冠军的最后一场比赛是2月27日在佛罗里达州迈阿密的硬石体育场对阵阿夫尼·耶尔德勒姆。随着泰森透露他打算在同一场比赛中比赛，现在讨论的话题转到了他的下一个对手到底是谁?
然而，这个问题仍然是一个开放性的问题。尽管如此，根据多份报道，长期竞争对手伊万德·霍利菲尔德(Evander Holyfield)似乎占据了主导地位。
至于泰森最近的一次亮相，很多人都预计他会在2020年11月对阵小琼斯的淘汰赛中进球获胜。当然，这并没有发生在他被迫接受平局的时候。虽然很多人对结果感到惊讶，但一切都按照泰森的计划进行。
尽管这位2011年的名人堂成员在几段训练视频中展示了他仍然具有爆发力的实力，但泰森透露，他的比赛计划从来都不是出去给小琼斯造成严重伤害。
在袖手旁观了15年之后，泰森只是想尝试一下。现在，在提醒自己在擂台上的感觉之后，54岁的他相信他已经准备好在他的第二轮比赛中放松了。
“我感觉比我预期的要好，”泰森说。“我本以为我会比实际更紧张一点，但其实我很放松。我觉得“哇”的一声——我可以做更多，我可以打出更多的组合，我可以做这个，做那个。我说，‘哇，这很有趣，我想再来一次，我想和一个我可以全力以赴的人比赛。这让我有兴趣再做一次。我想坚持到底，不想击倒任何人。这是人们的期望，但我想坚持到底。”
如果霍利菲尔德真的是泰森的下一个对手，他将结束泰森10年的不活跃状态。这位前重量级拳王最后一次亮相是在2011年5月7日。当晚，霍利菲尔德在第十轮的伤停补时中战胜了布莱恩·尼尔森。
尽管很快就挂上了手套，霍利菲尔德还是出现在赛场上，试图恢复竞技状态。在这个过程中，霍利菲尔德并没有表现出对泰森的恐惧。事实上，在90年代中期连续击败霍利菲尔德之后，霍利菲尔德表示，即使年事已高，他们之间的第三次对决也会以同样的方式结束。
几个月前，霍利菲尔德在接受《太阳报》(The Sun)的菲亚兹·拉菲克(Fiaz Rafiq)和理查德·弗雷斯特(Richard Forrester)的采访时说:“我肯定能搞定他。”“我仍然可以打刺拳，我仍然可以投出重拳，我要伤害你。我要让你看看我能把他打晕。”
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson wasn’t kidding around when he said he wanted to return to the ring soon.
After ending his decade and a half retirement late last year to take on future Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition matchup, Tyson announced to the world that he would continue his run of exhibitions for the foreseeable future.
Despite Tyson stating that he wanted to remain active in the ring, he was mums the word on when and who he would be fighting next. That is, up until now. While he hasn’t revealed who his next opponent will be, he has given both a date and place as to when fans can expect him back in the ring.
“May 29th something like that,” said Tyson during his podcast Hotboxin with Mike Tyson with his guest Canelo Alvarez. “The same arena you fought in.”
For Alvarez, the unified super middleweight champion last fought on February 27th against Avni Yildirim at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Florida. With Tyson revealing that he plans on fighting in the same arena, the topic of discussion now flips to who exactly will he be fighting next?
That question, however, is still an open-ended one. With that said, according to multiple reports, long-time rival Evander Holyfield appears to be in the driver’s seat.
As for his most recent outing, many anticipated Tyson to score the knockout win against Jones Jr. in their November contest in 2020. That of course, didn’t happen as he was forced to settle for a draw. But while many were surprised with the outcome, everything went according to Tyson’s plan.
Regardless of the 2011 Hall of Famer showing off his still explosive power in several training videos, Tyson revealed that the game plan was never to go out there and actually inflict serious damage to Jones Jr.
After spending 15 years sequestered on the sidelines, Tyson simply wanted to get his feet wet. Now, after reminding himself of what it feels like to be in the ring, the 54-year-old believes he’s ready to let loose in his second go-round.
“I felt better than I anticipated,” said Tyson. ”I thought I would be a little more nervous than I was, but I was relaxed. I felt like ‘wow’ – I could do some more, I could punch more combinations, I could do this and do that. I said ‘wow, this is interesting and I want to do it again and I want to do it against someone I could go all out on. It made me interested in wanting to do it again. I wanted to go the distance, I didn’t want to knock anybody out. That’s what peopleexpected, but I wanted to go the distance.”
If Holyfield is in fact Tyson’s next opponent, he’ll be ending a ten-year run of inactivity. The former multiple-time heavyweight champion was last seen in the ring on May 7th, 2011. On the night, Holyfield scored a tenth-round stoppage win over Brian Nielsen.
In spite of hanging up his gloves soon after, Holyfield has been spotted in the ring as he attempts to get back into fighting shape. In the process, Holyfield has shown no fear of fighting Tyson. In fact, after defeating him in back-to-back fights in the mid-90s, Holyfield has stated that even at their advanced age, a third showdown between them would end the exact same way.
“I can definitely handle him,” said Holyfield during an interview with Fiaz Rafiq and Richard Forrester of The Sun several months ago. “I can still shoot the jab, I can still shoot the shots. I’m going to hurt you. I’m going to show you that I can knock him out.”
