Mike Tyson recently leapt back into mainstream consciousness when he faced off against Jake Paul on Netflix.

While he would lose to Paul by unanimous decision, the former World Heavyweight Champion still garnered an impressive payday as well as international attention.
Despite being 58 years old, Tyson has revealed that he is more than willing to get back into the ring, no matter what sport it may be.
During a recent interview with Doric Sam of BleacherReport, Tyson revealed that his time in the ring wasn’t over, even if he wasn’t the happiest with the result of the Paul fight.
“Everything is possible, but I’m having a good time right now, just chilling. I’m just having fun boxing with my accountant now,” Tyson said. “The fact is, hey, if somebody breaks my record, I might come back.”

However, Tyson seemed much more excited about making a return to WWE.
“Oh God, I would love to do that, that’s me at my childhood best, I had a great time,” Tyson said.
When asked who he would like to face in a match, Tyson had a simple answer: “Shoot, all of them, let’s get a Battle Royal.”

Tyson has a long history with WWE, having first appeared in the promotion as Stone Cold Steve Austin’s special enforcer during his match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV.
In fact, Tyson created an iconic moment in WrestleMania history when he knocked Michaels out with a right hook after the match.
Tyson has since appeared multiple times in WWE, including as a host for Monday Night Raw in 2010. He was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012.
Needless to say, Tyson would be more than welcome back in WWE. The only question is whether he would be able to partake in a full match.
Even though he was able to box eight two-minute rounds, a full wrestling match is a different story. Maybe making a special appearance would be a better option.
