Final fights, bankruptcy and retirement
On February 22, 2003, Tyson beat fringe contender Clifford Etienne 49 seconds into round one, once again in Memphis. The pre-fight was marred by rumors of Tyson's lack of fitness and that he took time out from training to party in Las Vegas and get a new facial tattoo.[76] This would be Tyson's final professional victory in the ring.
In August 2003, after years of financial struggles, Tyson finally filed for bankruptcy.[77] Tyson is said to have squandered nearly $300 m in ring earnings through lavish spending and bad advice. In 2003, amid all his economic troubles, he was named by Ring Magazine at number 16, right behind Sonny Liston, among the 100 greatest punchers of all time.
On July 30, 2004, Tyson faced the British boxer Danny Williams in another comeback fight this time staged in Louisville, Kentucky. Tyson dominated the opening two rounds. The third round was even, with Williams getting in some clean blows and also a few illegal ones, for which he was penalized. In the fourth round Tyson was surprisingly knocked out. After the fight it was revealed that Tyson was trying to fight on one leg, having torn a ligament in his other knee in the first round. This was Tyson's fifth career defeat.[78] He underwent surgery for the ligament four days after the fight. His manager Shelly Finkel claimed that Tyson was unable to throw meaningful right-hand punches after the knee injury.[79]
On June 11, 2005, Tyson stunned the boxing world by quitting before the start of the seventh round in a close bout against journeyman Kevin McBride. After losing the third of his last four fights, Tyson said he would quit boxing because he has not "got the fighting guts or the heart anymore."[80]
It is expected to be announced later next week that Tyson will fight on the undercard of the upcoming Sinan Samil Sam - Oliver McCall fight on June 16 in Ankara, Turkey against David Haye. Tyson hopes a win over Haye, who is ranked in the top 20, will catapult him to a title fight. It will be Tyson's first professional fight in almost two years.
I found it its abit strange less than 2 week away and not a word can't be true
i know i searched all over the net after i read it, thats why i signed up to this message board to ask if anyone else had heard anything
ITS TOTAL BULLSHIT.......... You can actually add or take thing off of Wikpedia... I can write Tysons a transvestite on Wikpedia if I wanted too
:beat: Fukin wind up artists  ::**  Go play in traffic
Can't see how this is true. Tyson's parole wouldn't let him leave the state to be at the Briggs-Sultan fight from what I understand. Can't believe nothing else has been said about it, if it is true. The article says it is expected to be announced, maybe he has to be cleared first(by parole). Who knows.
thats a strange one??
It's a joke! There is no way Haye would take that fight. He would gain nothing from it.
