In this last box is the last proposal that Iron Mike had, which is perhaps the most ridiculous of all. Came from the former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski and aims precisely merge mixed martial arts and boxing in the same combat.
“Tyson is a legend. His poster hung in my room. I am not ready for a full fight under boxing rules against him. If a round is boxing and a round is MMA then it is possible.”, expressed the veteran fighter, still active, 41 years in dialogue with SportsRu.
Arlovski acknowledged that in the past he was about to launch as a boxer and that he had even planned to make ten fights to add experience and then seek to challenge former champion Wladimir Klitschko. However, a health problem prevented him from achieving that goal and apparently Tyson has infected him with the desire to remove his thorn.
