EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw said he’s had no talks with Mike Tyson or any of his representatives, but he’s certainly open to the idea of EliteXC heavyweight Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson taking on the legendary boxer.
The website MediaTakeOut.com today reported that Tyson has tentatively agreed to fight Ferguson under the EliteXC banner.
Shaw denied any negotiations for the bout but said he’d “make that fight in a heartbeat.”
“I have the media report about Mike,” Shaw said during a media conference call today. “I’ve had no discussions with Mike or anyone around Mike. I know Mike. Yes, I would make that fight in a heartbeat.”Tyson, 41, owns a 58-6 career boxing record and was the world’s undisputed heavyweight champion and the youngest man ever to win a world heavyweight title. He won his first 37 fights (with 33 knockouts) but hasn’t competed since a June 2005 sixth-round TKO loss to Kevin McBride. It was his third loss in his past four fights.
According to the report, the fight with Ferguson would take place “late this year or early next.”
As MMAjunkie.com ( To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. ) reported last month, Ferguson recently signed a contract extension with EliteXC. Insiders says that Shaw, a longtime boxing promoter, spearheaded the effort to extend Ferguson’s deal with the company.
Ferguson, 2-0 in MMA (with an exhibition victory over former boxer Ray Mercer) next fights James Thompson in the main event of a May 31 broadcast on CBS. “EliteXC: PRIMETIME,” the first of four “Saturday Night Fights” events, will be the first-ever live MMA event to air on major U.S. network television. “Kimbo” rose to fame as an underground bare-knuckle brawler when his fights were distributed via the Internet.

A real possibility?
First of all, if Kimbo is ever going to be taken seriously, he needs to cut it with the bullshit gimmick matches but secondly.. he'd be playing with some real fire here. Tyson is certainly not the "Baddest Man on the Planet" that he once was, but a quick combination would still be enough to knock Kimbo the fuck out.
Exactly. Plus, this isn't a joke like Mercer. Tyson is completely out of shape but he's shown on a few occasions that his punch can still be lethal. Imagine if he trained hardcore and gave a shit about this? He'd have a shot...
Yeah, if Kimbo ever wants to be taken seriously he will never accept that fight.
It is obvious that EliteXC is just wanting to cash in on Kimbo's 15 minutes of fame and have no intentions to help him grow as a fighter.
The best thing for Kimbo is for the UFC to sign him.
