Williams has shown interest in a potential fight between the two and has even been granted permission from his Canadian Rugby team to participate. Though he has an interest, it takes two to tango and Tyson recently shut down those rumors on Twitter calling them “totally false.”
Mike Tyson Vs Evander Holyfield Part III
Evander Holyfield, who is known as a professional boxer but is famously known for having his ear bitten by Tyson, is another potential opponent. Like Sonny Bill Williams, Holyfield has also publicly stated that he would have an interest in facing off against Mike Tyson as well.
This could be a real possibility as Holyfield has already announced that he will be returning to the ring. Odds for a potential third fight between the two are set at -120 for both fighters at US online sportsbooks.
Mike Tyson Vs Shannon Briggs
A potential matchup between Mike Tyson and Shannon Briggs has been rumored to already be agreed upon by the two fighters. If they were to face off, it would not be a typical boxing match though, as they have agreed to have it a Bare Knuckle Fighting match.
The odds between the two fighters have Tyson favored to win at -150 odds while Briggs has +110 odds.
This would be a pound for pound heavyweight clash as Briggs has already made a mark on the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship with a 60-6-1 record and Tyson, who needs no introduction, has seemingly stayed in great shape since he last fought in 2005.
