During a recent virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest, former WWE Superstar Bobby Lashley shared an intriguing revelation: he was offered a fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson several months ago. Lashley expressed his excitement at the prospect, noting the significance of facing such an iconic figure in combat sports. He discussed the details surrounding the offer and what it would mean for his career, highlighting his respect for Tyson and the challenges that would come with stepping into the ring with a boxing great.
Lashley is currently a free agent after parting ways with WWE earlier this year. He mentioned that he has received multiple offers from both wrestling promotions and MMA organizations, showing that there’s considerable interest in his talent. Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson is set to fight Jake Paul in a boxing match later this November, adding another layer of intrigue to Lashley’s potential matchup with the boxing legend.
Below are some key highlights from Lashley’s comments (via Fightful):
I was offered a Mike Tyson fight also. I was offered Mike Tyson several months back. I was like, ‘Hmm, that would be a good fight.’ People asked me the same question, ‘Can I beat Mike Tyson?’ I’m not going to say, ‘Oh yeah, I can beat Mike Tyson,’ but I would like to do the fight. That’s what it’s all about to me. As a competitor, as a fighter, I’m going to take a fight that comes my way. If it makes sense, I’ll do it.”
