Tyson retired from professional boxing in 2006 after a storied career that saw him win his first heavyweight title at the age of 20, and ended with 50 wins from his 58 fights.

"Anyone with an ounce of brains knows that it is ridiculous. You can be on a motorway stuck in a traffic jam and you get to the end of it and all it is is people who have stopped to look at a crash - and that's what this is."Boxing fans started to get excited, as the “old-timer” looked to like his old, ferocious self, punching sparring partners and bags with some of the fierce power that made him such a dangerous opponent to face.
Two years later Tyson would throw another punch in public, this time on a plane when he repeatedly punched a passenger after becoming irritated by the man's attempts to talk to him.Cell phone footage showed Tyson leaning over the back of his seat and delivering a flurry of blows to the man, who appeared to be left with bruises and some bleeding.
It is rumoured that Tyson could earn $20 million for the fight, big money for a sportsman who was $23 million in debt in 2003 after blowing his $400 million fortune that he amassed during his career.
