Mike Tyson wants THREE blockbuster exhibition bouts this year including a fight against current world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

The 54-year-old made his sensational return to boxing last year as he fought fellow legend Roy Jones Jr to a draw.

Tyson vs. Jones Jr garnered a whopping 1.6 million pay-per-views, generating over £50 million.

And 'Iron' Mike plans to continue his comeback, eyeing exhibitions against former foes Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.

He also wants to face the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' who is in talks to fight Anthony Joshua in an undisputed showdown.

Speaking on his podcast, he revealed: "I want Holyfield and I want Lennox Lewis this year.

"I want both of them, I want to get them both this year. I also want to box an exhibition with Tyson Fury."

He added: "If I do that - even if I can get those two guys [Lewis and Holyfield], I'll say; 'This is a wrap, I'm just gonna live life.'

"And that's just exhibitions. I'm gonna break all my professional true records with exhibitions."

Tyson fought Holyfield on two occasions, losing twice - including the infamous 'Bite Fight' where he was disqualified for biting his opponent's ear.

The former world heavyweight champion also lost to Lewis in one of the biggest fights in boxing history.
