YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Mike Tyson could be returning to the ring.
The former heavyweight champion on Thursday will announce plans for "Mike Tyson's World Tour". Tyson, who hasn't been in the ring since losing to Kevin McBride in June 2005, will fight at the tour's opening next month in Youngstown, publicist Bob Trieger said.

The tour will also feature former lightweight champion Paul Spadafora, who just completed a seven-month prison term for shooting his fiancee in 2003.
Also on the card is former 2003 Pan-Am Games silver medalist Juan McPherson, who unsuccessfully fought in court to win a spot on the 2004 U.S. Olympic team after being medically disqualified because of a neck injury suffered during a fight.

That is priceless.
His glass chin will end this comeback early.
We have 'Rocky 6' coming out in December, and now Mike Tyson is going to fight again. The only difference is that I am actually looking forward to seeing Rocky 6 when it's out (yeah, I'm a dork).
