Legendary boxer Mike Tyson made a couple of appearances for All Elite Wrestling back in May along with an entourage consisting of former UFC light heavyweight champions Rashad Evans and Vitor Belfort, and former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo.
A confrontation with former AEW Champion Chris Jericho seemed to tease a match of some sort down the line, but we haven't heard anything since. Now, AEW co-owner Tony Khan has provided fans with an update.
While speaking to Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson on their podcast, Khan praised Tyson and said he would "love to" have him back should the opportunity arise.
“I like Mike a lot. Mike did a great job on Double of Nothing and I think there was a great amount of publicity and the show did very well. I have to attribute something to Mike’s presence there. I really think the world of Mike and I’d love to have Mike back if we could ever work it out. There’s a lot of great matches out there in the future, but if we could ever put Mike and Chris together and do Tyson vs. Jericho, I think it would be great.”
Although Khan doesn't go so far as to confirm anything specific, it certainly sounds like it could be on the cards. A match between Tyson and Jericho may not be particularly pretty to watch, but it would no doubt bring a lot of eyes to the product.
