Ring Return Rumors: Tarver Wants Tyson in High-Profile Exhibition Match!

Antonio Tarver, the former world champ, has thrown his hat in the ring for an exhibition bout, and he's eyeing some big names - Mike Tyson's at the top of his list. Tarver's set his sights on three potential rivals, including Iron Mike.

He's been quoted saying, "Looks like Roy Jones is the only one they're lining up for me. He's the guy I might end up squaring off with. But hey, I'm all for these exhibition matches. They're my jam. I reckon I can bring something special to the party. If I'm gonna dance, though, I want it to be a main event.

Give me a top dog from MMA or boxing, like a face-off with Mike Tyson or the Paul brothers - Logan and Jake. That'd be right up my alley. Stepping into the ring with a legend like Tyson? That's big league. Picture this: Tarver versus Tyson in an exhibition showdown. I bet folks are curious if Mike's still got that dynamite punch or if I can pull another rabbit out of my hat," shared Tarver.

Tarver hung up his gloves in 2015 after a standoff with Steve Cunningham ended in a draw. Tyson's last appearance was in an exhibition match against Roy Jones. Remember, Tarver's got a history with Jones - he's taken him down twice in three pro fights, once by a technical knockout and once on the judges' scorecards.

Meanwhile, Logan Paul hung up his boxing gloves, saying the pay's not cutting it. And Jake? He's got his eyes on an MMA debut with PFL. So, who knows? We might see Tarver mixing it up with some of these heavy hitters.
