Iron Mike: I'll eat your children...and punch your wife in the mouth

Hope this isn't a D_B...

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (AP) - Mike Tyson said fans should not expect much of a fight when he steps back into the ring.

But the 40-year-old former heavyweight boxing champ promised an entertaining show Friday night when he launches the "Mike Tyson's World Tour" in Youngstown.

At a news conference at an Italian restaurant, Tyson said he would likely go just four rounds and that future stops on the tour might include bouts with women, possibly professional boxer Ann Wolfe.

Wolfe, from Waco, Texas, is 21-1 with 15 knockouts.

"She's such a prominent, dominant woman in the boxing field," Tyson said.

When asked if he was joking about fighting women, Tyson said, "I'm very serious."

Anyone remember the Bogart boxing flick (a great one, BTW) The Harder They Fall? Iron Mike has morphed into Toro Moreno.

Mike Tyson is seriously mentally ill.

For a minute I thought this thread was about Mike Keenan.

He's truly faded into bolivian.

There are just so many things in that short article that are simultaneously disturbing and hilarious.

Wow, wonder if Michael Steele's opponent gave Tyson $50 to wear that T-shirt? That's the only thing that would make sense.
I'm amazed that Tyson is still alive.

Tyson has already shown a propensity for fighting under-sized opponents. Remember this guy?

Fighting women was just the next sorry step.

Just because.

With all the reality TV shows these days, how does Tyson NOT have one?

 

[shotglass]

Just because.

You go to the front of the class.

Probably not enough cameramen brave enough to take the job.

I don't know who to profess my love for first: The people who made this, or IJAG.

I figured you would have thought it was about Iron Mike Sharpe.

(I know, I know -- you did think it was about him, but didn't say so because you figured nobody would have any idea who you were talking about, right? )

I heard this on Conan O'Brien and I'd pay to see it: Mike Tyson vs. Paris Hilton: The Guy Who Blew 30 Million Dollars vs. The Gal Who Blew 30 Million Guys

That was hilarious. "Don King" couldn't even keep a straight face.

Could you? LOL

Canada's greatest athlete, no doubt about it.
