Considered one of the best boxers of all time, Mike Tyson does not approve of the duel between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather in boxing rules. According to the sports legend, the fight should take place in MMA, preferably in the UFC.

“If Mayweather boxed McGregor, it would be rubbish. If Floyd goes to the UFC… then, yes, it would be interesting. I want to see an MMA fighter fight MMA against a boxer, not an MMA fighter box against a boxer. In a boxing ring, McGregor will be easy prey for Mayweather. It won't be fair. McGregor is a star, but I would prefer to see him in action against Mayweather under UFC rules,” said Mike, in an interview with 'ESPN'.
Asked if he would accept giving up retirement if he received a very advantageous financial offer, Tyson, who hasn't fought since 2005, ruled out the hypothesis.
“I would never come out of retirement. Of course, Don King has brought several proposals over the years, but I wouldn't fight again for anything, not even for $100 million. I don't want to get beaten anymore. It’s that simple,” he concluded.
