WelshDevilRob Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Tyson and Golota to fight in Poland? 06.04.2011 08:33 A boxing promoter is trying to lure Mike Tyson out of retirement for a re-match with Andrzej Golota, when the American boxer is in Poland for three days in the autumn this year. Golota faced the fearsome Tyson in 2000 when the Pole quit the bout at the beginning of the third round, after what his manager described at the time as a “panic attack”. The bout was later ruled a No Contest after Tyson tested positive for marijuana. “I want the two fighters meet again,” boxing promoter Tomasz Babiloński has told a tabloid newspaper in Poland. ”We're currently in preliminary talks with Tyson's manager and we have agreed that he will be in Poland for three days, starting 8 September,” Babiloński told the Fakt newspaper. The bout between the two retired fighters will probably not happen, of course, and is probably merely part of the hype surrounding a visit by Tyson to Poland, who could be taking part in a boxing gala in the country. The promoter would be pleased if the two old bruisers sparred at each other a little in the gym. Tyson, one of the most feared of all heavyweight champs when he was in his pomp, will earn around 100,000 USD during his trip to Poland, plus accommodation and flights - two business class tickets and three in the economy for his entourage. Golota last fought in 2009, when he lost to Tomasz Adamek in five rounds. Tyson was last in the ring in 2005 when he was TKO-ed by Kevin McBride, who Adamek faces in Newark at the weekend.

edsel77x Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Is the condition of boxing in such a deplorable condition...? Why would the promoter think this is exciting? I'm sure for a million dollars anyone will do just about anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMagician Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Maybe they have all been having a smoke of the Marajuana together while talking about this fight. Or, maybe they have infact smoked crack?? Either way, its a totally f**ked idea......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Nice journalistic omission of the question mark - the Daily Star equivalent of boxing headlines. Tyson isn't coming out of retirement anymore than Lewis is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Golota looked awful when he fought Adamek. Can't see Tyson fighting anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoner Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I doubt there's any truth in this. I can't see Tyson ever fighting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheils Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Yes, not chance of a 'fight', maybe an exhibition match at best, but probably only in the news to make money for Tyson's visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skav Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 These rumours come about every year, as does the Lennox Lewis ones. Don't take any notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_hoops1967 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 If he's turned down ridiculous money from knob king then I can't see Tyson accepting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saigon Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 You can look at Tyson now and see just how much he despises boxing, almost as if he regrets ever doing it. I dont think Mike would go for it unless he really needs the money but I dont think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavpowell Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Tyson lost against Kevin Mcbride and has since been retired and gained weight. I wouldn't bank on him beating me, let alone Golota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Tyson lost against Kevin Mcbride and has since been retired and gained weight. I wouldn't bank on him beating me, let alone Golota. I know he went very fat but since his vegetarian diet he's looked in peak condition. Golota was over weight against Adamek.
