Former world boxing champion Mike Tyson has set tough conditions to wear gloves again and return to the fight against the American YouTuber Jake Joseph Paul, who recently became a professional boxer.

Fights of this nature are not repeated, and there can be tens of millions of dollars on offer for an event of this caliber, but the legendary boxer wants a billion dollars.

There were rumors circulating that "Iron Mike" is facing Paul, but these rumors have not yet translated into anything official from the two sides.

And in the last episode of Mike Tyson's "podcast", the former champion was asked about a possible confrontation, and he replied, "No one told me that.. Where is the king's contract? Where is the king's money?"

Tyson then explained his friendly relationship with the YouTuber, insisting that he knew nothing of a possible Las Vegas battle.

"I was with Paul not so long ago to celebrate and he never told me that... I've never heard of this from anyone, I've heard it now from you guys."

Although he was unaware of the potential match, he was prepared for the fees he would demand if an offer to fight Paul actually came, and Tyson said "a billion dollars."

And if the fight is agreed upon, it will be the most expensive fight in history, as the highest-earning fight in the history of the game was the one that took place between retired American boxers Floyd Mayweather and Filipino Manny Pacquiao in 2015 and earned more than 400 million dollars.

But despite the huge cost of the Tyson-Paul fight, which no one will be able to afford, it is doubtful that Tyson will ever make it back into the ring.

He even said this after negotiations with Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield failed.

Tyson, who was the undisputed world heavyweight champion, retired from professional boxing in 2005, but appeared again in boxing gloves in an exhibition match in 2020 with Roy Jones Jr., and the fight ended in a draw.
