Mike Tyson’s “Undisputed Truth” returns to Las Vegas next month, Tyson says he’s excited to bring the show back to his hometown

Mike Tyson has gone through a series of transformations in his life: from street hoodlum to boxing prodigy, to the youngest heavyweight champion in history, to walking car crash, to mellowed family man, to raconteur. It is this latest role that the man who hits his half century later this year will return to in March.

Tyson’s hugely successful one-man stage show entitled “Undisputed Truth” proved to be a revelation, with Mike’s rapid-fire delivery on stage bringing both laughter and sympathy from the consistently large crowds. Now, beginning on March 3rd, with the run ending in June, Tyson will take to the stage again.

Juan Manuel Marquez talks possibility of facing Miguel Cotto in September or October, after May comeback fight

Juan Manuel Marquez talks possibility of facing Miguel Cotto in September or October, after May comeback fight

And, in a piece over on ESPN.com, Dan Rafael has reported how Marquez, inactive since his May 2014 points win over Mike Alvarado, is in talks to face Cotto later this year.

Understandably, considering his layoff, the Mexican great is not 100-percent sure he will actually fight again, much less against Cotto. But the 42-year-old future Hall of Famer has begun training again.

Frampton and Quigg meet face-to-face in tense The Gloves Are Off ahead of anticipated thriller

Roy Jones Junior to “fight” in bizarre pay-per-view event - against “a fan!”

It’s one of those stories that, when you read it, you have to double check to see if you really have read correctly. Once great multi-weight king Roy Jones Junior – who recently announced how, contrary to some reports that said he had retired, made it clear he has not yet done so – will indeed fight again. Sort of.

It’s up on a number of boxing sites, so it must be true: Jones, 47, will “fight a fan” in a March 20th pay-per-view event in Phoenix that will also feature MMA and wrestling bouts.
