• Tyson announces his return

"When I leave a ring at the end of a fight, my senses reach their zenith. I am able to see everything, smell everything and hear everything around me." Perhaps looking for those unique feelings from when he was the god of boxing or in an attempt to redeem a life of drugs, beatings, gender violence, prison, alcohol, loneliness and betrayals, Mike Tyson has left these days, at 54 years old , a glimpse of the return to the ring.

The last time Iron Mike fought was 15 years ago, a legend at its lowest point, humiliated by a modest Irish boxer named Kevin McBride . "I can't do it anymore. I can't lie to myself anymore. It's just my end. I end here," he managed to say then. It was the third loss in his last four fights for the man who had become the youngest world champion in history at the age of 20, a phenomenon as controversial as it was spectacular. "I never wanted to be Iron Mike. I hated that man. But he's the man I had to become to survive."

Only a few days ago he was seen as never before. With that unique speed point, the one hit like a hammer, correct weight, murderous look; that "racehorse prepared to go out when the gate is opened" that he himself wrote in his impressive biography, "The whole truth" . A training uploaded to social networks and finished with a 'I'm back' a la Michael Jordan, even if he wore a Clippers shirt. "Everything is possible when you are cunning. Train with cunning. Recover with cunning", he wrote next to the powerful image.

Only a few days ago, he assured in an Instagram live with the rapper 'TI' that he intended to "get back in shape to be able to participate in three or four charity fights. Some of these performances help homeless people and people with drug problems as it happened to me. " And the rumor mill, of course, has exploded as if it were Michael Buffer shouting the 'Let's get ready to rumble'.

Also those looking for business opportunities, because Mike, although he wasted tons of millions of dollars, was always a vein. Australian boxing promoter Brian Amatruda contacted the Brooklyn boxer and offered him a fight against rugby star Sonny Bill Williams , a 34-year-old New Zealander, 1.94 meters tall and weighing 108 kilos, a two-time world champion with the All Blacks team. Who already made seven fights, all with victory.

One possibility that seems was not to the liking of Tyson, despite the three million that was on the table. "It would be an insult to boxing to fight a rugby player. If I come back it's to face a real boxer." And, no one more real than your Nemesis. Although Evander Holyfield is 57 years old - retired in 2011 - he also boasts in good shape. A poster promoting the Tyson-Holyfield fight, scheduled for next July 11 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, circulates on social networks. It would be 23 years since the most famous bite in sports history.
