Eric 'Butterbean' Esch wants to step back into the ring at 58 years old. The legendary boxer says he's ready for exhibition fights in 2025, aiming to end his career with a bang and give fans a show to remember.
Butterbean claims he's in the best shape of his life. He's lost weight, improved his health, and keeps up with regular training. Now, he's got his sights set on some big names for potential matchups.
Mike Tyson tops Butterbean's wish list. Both men were boxing icons in the 1990s but never faced each other in the ring. Butterbean thinks a fight with Tyson would be a historic event, calling it "fun and powerful."
Jake Paul is another opponent Butterbean's interested in. The YouTuber-turned-boxer represents a different generation of fighters, and Butterbean sees it as an interesting way to measure himself against today's boxing scene.
Butterbean's message to potential opponents? "You've got guts, but I've got experience."
Fans on social media have mixed feelings about Butterbean's comeback plans. Some feel nostalgic and excited, while others are skeptical. But most agree it'd be quite a spectacle if it happens.
It's important to note that no fights have been officially confirmed yet. Butterbean's main goal is to cap off his career in style with an exhibition bout, not return to the professional circuit.
As Butterbean gears up for a potential return, the boxing world watches with interest. Will the 58-year-old legend get his wish for one last hurrah in the ring? Only time will tell.
