    The fight world is about to change. MediaTakeOut.com just EXCLUSIVELY learned that former heavyweight boxing champ has tentatively agreed to fight internet streetfighter Kimbo Slice under ProElite’s live fight division, EliteXC.

    According to an insider at the company, Mike and Kimbo are set to fight "late this year or early next." But first things first, Kimbo has to win his fight next Saturday night against James "Colossus" Thompson. A fight that or insider claims is "going to be tough."

    James thompson looks like a MONSTER!! But I heard he had a weak chin. Is this true?

    Never going to happen. Tyson is so out of shape right now and has no desire to fight anymore. He can make money so many other ways just by using his name and making appearances, why would he want to do this?

    By the way if it did happen, I'd take Tyson by brutal KO

    I will assume tahat if this were to hapen it would be an MMA fight. I will also assume that Tyson would have some MMA training. I will also assume that the only reason it would happen is that Tyson needs money badly.

    I don't believe it's true (and don't want it to be) and hell yes, thompson has a glass jaw.

    Thompson: Look like Tarzan, chin like Jane.

    He keeps a poster of Hasim Rahman on his ceiling, hoping one day to sport a "granite" beard like that.

    I hope this fight doesnt happen, because as much as you guys want to discredit it, I wouldnt be surprised in the least if it happend. Kimbo has said he wanted to fight Tyson on a few occasions, and you know the fight itself would be huge, the hype for it would be out of this world.

    As a few have already said, Tyson can make money in other ways, he dont have to fight, which is very true, but the thought of making 10 million in a couple minutes of fighting, would sound very appealing to anyone.

    If by some slim-to-none chance this happened, I wonder how much attention it would draw from the general public, not just fight fans? Cuz realisitically speaking, everyone on the face of the planet knows who Mike Tyson is, but Kimbo is still a nobody.
