Question

Is Kimbo Slice VS. Tyson for real?

Answer 1

It is only a rumor to generate buzz for Mike Tyson's film "Tyson".  If you watch the film you will get the impression that Mike will never fight again professionally.

Answer 2

i hope not. kimbo vs fedor, now i would pay for that!

Answer 3

In Tysons prime he would kick Kimbos ***....

Answer 4

It seems like it is just rumors for now, but if it happens I will definitely watch it. Kimbo's next fight will be on network tv though, so it may not be too long before we see him taking on (out) Tyson.

Answer 5

It's just rumors at this point and time. I read an article in yahoo sports that Bas Rutten, who trains Kimbo, doesn't want to fight Tyson. He doesn't want the circus type atmosphere surrounding Kimbo's MMA career. Kimbo and Bas are very serious about his transformation from back yard brawler to MMA champ. Supposedly Kimbo is training hard and only looking for serious fights. There's no doubt that this fight would generate money but no one would take Kimbo's MMA career seriously. Mike is out of his prime and has been for quite some time so I don't see it happening.
