Mike Tyson says he will be looking for a knockout in his next seniors boxing contest, expected to happen this year, after claiming he did not go full-pelt in his in-ring return against Roy Jones Jr. late last year.

The eight-round exhibition on Nov. 28 in California did great business, drawing 1.6 million buys. That inevitably led to talk of Tyson doing it again, with old rival Evander Holyfield the likely opponent.

On his Hotboxin’ podcast, Tyson said fans would see more in a second bout, now that he has re-adjusted.

“I felt better than I anticipated,” he said of the Jones fight. “I thought I would be a little more nervous than I was, but I was relaxed. I felt like ‘wow’ – I could do some more, I could punch more combinations; I could do this and do that.

“I said ‘wow, this is interesting’ and I want to do it again and I want to do it against someone I can go all out on. It made me interested in wanting to do it again.

“I wanted to go the distance, I didn’t want to knock anybody out, that’s what people expected, but I wanted to go the distance.”

If the exhibition with Holyfield comes to fruition, it will be the third battle between the two, albeit a far cry from the first pair of fights.

They went at it twice in the 1990s in full professional contests scheduled for 12 rounds for the WBA championship, with Holyfield winning both times. The latter was the infamous disqualification finish due to Tyson biting his foe’s ear.

However, though negotiations between the two are reportedly ongoing, Holyfield recently expressed doubt that Tyson was as up for it as he claimed.
