Mike Tyson says he’s fighting Lennox Lewis in September

According to Mike Tyson, with Evander Holyfield off the table, he is set for another rematch this fall.

In a recent interview with TMZ, Tyson was asked what will be his next move in the boxing world now that Holyfield is set to face Kevin McBride on the next Triller boxing event on June 5 and stated a fight with Lennox Lewis is the plan.

“I’m gonna fight Lennox Lewis,” Tyson said in Los Angeles.

When asked when the bout will take place, Tyson simply said, “September.”

The soon-to-be 55-year-old Tyson challenged Lewis for the WBC, IBF, IBO, The Ring and lineal heavyweight titles in June 2002 at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis.
