Mike Tyson continues feud with "damaged" Floyd Mayweather with another rant

Mike Tyson has continued his verbal sparring with Floyd Mayweather, calling him "damaged" in another extraordinary rant.

Iron Mike began his war of words with Mayweather in 2019 after rubbishing his self-proclaimed title as the best fighter of all-time.

Speaking on his Hotboxin’ podcast, Tyson said: "Floyd’s a great fighter, don’t get me wrong. He had 50 fights.

“Listen, Sugar Ray Robinson had 40 fights. He lost one, then he had a 78-fight winning streak. Forty, lost one, then a 78-fight winning streak, goddamn. Don’t tell me about, ‘You’re the greatest fighter,’ with 50-0."

But those words were tame compared to what Tyson had in store for Mayweather on a recent edition of his Hotboxing' podcast when he was asked about Money's fight with Logan Paul.

"You see, Floyd [Mayweather], he is damaged," Tyson began.

"He is damaged. He wants to come back and fight. You see, that’s what that do.

"I came back, that’s not right. It's f***** you up. It is damaged.

"Listen, I didn't feel that way, I never wanted to do this s— again, and I don't know what it is, I wish I could, but I'm just taking advantage of what this game is, you get me?"

Do you think Mike Tyson is right? Or is Floyd Mayweather the greatest boxer of all-time? Let us know in the comments section.

Despite those words, Tyson looks set to make a comeback of his own later this year.

In an interview with TMZ in April, the 55-year-old revealed plans for a rematch with Lennox Lewis – 19 years after their last bout.

"I'm gonna fight Lennox Lewis," Tyson said in Los Angeles.

Questioned on when the fight will take place, he replied: "September."

Tyson retired from professional boxing in 2005 but returned to the ring in October 2006 to fight Corey Sanders.

He then stayed inactive for 14 years before taking part in another exhibition bout, this time against Roy Jones Jr.

The fight, which was scored by the WBC, ended in a draw after eight rounds.
