Mike Tyson given chance to avenge Kevin McBride loss after being so savagely beaten he quit on his stool
MIKE TYSON has been offered the chance to avenge the last defeat of his career by rematching Kevin McBride.
McBride forced Iron Mike to quit on his stool after a laboured six rounds in 2005, the last time Tyson fought as a professional.
"Nobody can rule out anything in this world because that's life.
"It would be explosive to fight Mike Tyson again and I'm sure Mike would love to rectify his loss.
"I would just love to jump in the ring again with him."
Unlike McBride's win against Tyson, the pay-per-view spectacle will not go down as a professional contest.
The California State Athletic commission, who sanctioned the bout, urged the legendary pair to avoid knockouts.
But Tyson, who was close to facing Jones in 2003, has already admitted he will look to finish the fight.
He said: "If the opportunity comes, I'm always looking for it."
