Mike Tyson's got his sights set on a WWE comeback. The former heavyweight boxing champ recently hinted he'd love to step back into the wrestling ring.

'Iron' Mike, now 58, hung up his boxing gloves for good in November 2024 after an exhibition bout with Jake Paul. He lost that one on points, but it hasn't dimmed his enthusiasm for combat sports.

In a chat with Sports Illustrated, Tyson gushed about his favorite wrestlers. He named Hulk Hogan, Bruno Sammartino, Andre The Giant, The Big Show, John Tolos, and Pedro Morales as some of his top picks.

Tyson's no stranger to the WWE. Back in 1998, he had a run-in with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin that fans still talk about today. It's one of those moments that's etched in wrestling history.

When asked about a possible return to WWE, Tyson didn't hold back. He told Bleacher Report:

"Oh God, I would love to do that, that's me at my childhood best. I had a great time."

Tyson's always been a big deal, whether in the boxing ring or the wrestling ring. He's known for knocking guys out cold and having a larger-than-life personality. When he showed up in WWE, he brought a whole new level of intensity and unpredictability.

If Tyson does make a WWE comeback, fans will go wild. He's still a beloved figure in both boxing and wrestling circles. His appeal crosses generations and disciplines.

Even at 58, Tyson's still a cultural icon. His impact on boxing and wrestling is huge. Now, fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting to see if he'll really step back into a WWE ring.
