Boxing megastar Mike Tyson was reportedly offered as an opponent for a massive WWE Superstar in a bare-knuckle fight.
According to a recent report from Fightful Select, Bobby Lashley has admitted that he was offered the massive bout “by a bare-knuckle boxing company rep.”
“Lashley says he still hopes and plans to fight and even asked Vince McMahon after Money in the Bank about the possibility of fighting in the UFC, which was quickly rejected” Fightful revealed.

“Lashley also claimed that he was approached ‘by a bare-knuckle boxing company rep’ about the possibility of whether or not he would consider boxing Mike Tyson” Fightful continued.
“Lashley says it was a feeling out process, and that he’d love to do it, as it’d be an honour to compete against him. Per Lashley, the rep mentioned the possibility of Madison Square Garden as a venue” the site concluded.
It probably will not happen, but what an absolutely massive bout this would be for the likes of BKFC if they could pull it off.
Could we see it down the line? Possibly, but the chances of Lashley leaving WWE to take this on is quite low. With the management at the job of WWE changing? It’s not completely impossible.
