"I would love to have fought Mayweather" - Mike Tyson

 

MIKE TYSON has revealed he would take on Floyd Mayweather if he could fight any boxer in history.

      The former heavyweight champion claimed he would be "dirty" in the ring if he locked horns with the unbeaten American.

When asked which fighter from any era he would face if he could, Tyson immediately responded: "Mayweather".

During the interview with ShoBox, he added: "Well, I would love to have fought him. I wish he was my weight."

Tyson previously claimed he would kick Mayweather's "a***" if they went toe-to-toe in a street fight.

And the 53-year-old, who infamously bit off Evander Holyfield's ear in the ring, insisted dirty tactics would be the way to beat Mayweather.

He told the Wall Street Journal: "We can never fight, of course, because of the weight difference, but I wouldn't fight him the way they fought him.

"I would be mean, I would be dirty.

"Because you'd have to do everything to fight him because he's just so good.

"You can't... it's impossible to fight him clean.
