Mike Tyson to Rematch Lennox Lewis, Experts Tease

The upcoming clash between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul might be all the rage right now but betting experts suggested that Tyson wouldn’t stop competing there. Sportscasting.com used the opportunity to publish odds about the fights Tyson might take on next.

Tyson Might Challenge Old Rivals

The most noteworthy suggestion was the reenacting of the legendary clash between Tyson and Lennox Lewis. The last clash between the two was in 2002 but sportscasting.com experts suggested that the two heavyweight champions will reunite after almost 23 years.

In addition to suggesting that a rematch might be on the table, experts also predicted that Tyson would likely emerge victorious, giving him odds of 4/6 to win.  Sportscasting.com also noted that Tyson might also rematch Evander Holyfield or John Fury, the father of Tyson Fury.

According to sportscasting.com, the odds for Mike Tyson’s next fights are as follows:

• Lennox Lewis: 10/11
• Evander Holyfield: 3/1
• John Fury: 5/1

If the aforementioned pairings really do happen and Tyson takes on some of the former boxing legends once again, here is who sportscasting.com’s experts believe would come on top:

Tyson versus Lewis

• Mike Tyson: 4/6
• Lennox Lewis: 6/5

Tyson versus Holyfield

• Mike Tyson 10/11
• Evander Holyfield 10/11

Tyson versus John Fury

• Mike Tyson 1/20
• John Fury 8/1

The Rumors Should Not Be Ignored

Sportscasting.com spokesperson Andy Newton commented on the aforementioned odds, saying that, in any case, Tyson would need to face off against Jake Paul first. However, Newton added that the rumors of some old legendary fights should not be ignored.

Speaking about the potential rematch between Tyson and Lewis, the spokesperson said:

The pair last met in 2002, with Lewis coming out on top that day, but the oddsmakers think that a rematch over 20 years later would see Mike Tyson win – making him odds-on if the two former heavyweight champs stepped back into the ring.

Newton concluded that the matches against Holyfield and John Fury are also likely possibilities. If the former is to happen, however, Holyfield might have to consider taping up his ears, Newton joked, referring to a previous fight when Mike Tyson bit off a part of his competitor’s ear.
