Mike Tyson could receive historic rematch offer immediately after Jake Paul fight

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has hinted at a possible rematch with his old adversary, Mike Tyson. Tyson, 58, is due to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on November 15 at the AT&T Arena in Arlington, Texas, before an anticipated crowd of up to 90,000 fans.

The pair were originally set to fight earlier this year, but 'Iron Mike' had to withdraw after suffering an ulcer flare-up. The boxing legend has since returned to the gym and is confident he'll be fit to take on the young contender next month.

However, some fans are worried about Tyson's health ahead of his heavyweight clash with Paul, especially after he recently confessed he was having difficulty walking post-sparring. His last professional match was nearly 20 years ago when he was defeated by Kevin McBride, although he did participate in an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr four years ago.

Tyson is widely considered one of the greatest heavyweights in boxing history, having beaten the likes of Trevor Berbick, Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, and Frank Bruno during his prime. Yet, one of the few who managed to outdo him was Lewis.

Lewis and Tyson famously clashed in 2002, with the British boxer emerging victorious via an eighth-round knockout, thereby retaining his WBC, IBF, IBO and Ring heavyweight world titles. Now, over two decades later, 'The Lion' hasn't dismissed the possibility of a rematch with 'Iron Mike', reports the Mirror.

Speaking to TMZ, Lewis commented: "Let's see how he makes out in this fight first. I have spoken to Mike, just about fighting. Let's hope his health is ok. You can't see things on the outside that may be affecting you on the inside. I wouldn't want to say he is okay then all of a sudden something happens."

Boxing enthusiasts are questioning whether 'Iron Mike' is taking the fight seriously following a surprising revelation. During a recent conversation with Jimmy Kimmel, the 58 year old claimed he was training for six hours a day.

"I am training extremely hard, I do six hours a day. I start at 11am and might leave the gym at 5pm," he stated. A taken aback Kimmel responded: "Oh no. 11am? So that's six hours straight, or is there a lunch break? " The former heavyweight champion admitted there was a small break.
