The 51-year-old, who only retired two years ago, is ready to take on Iron Mike, meanwhile Tyson will return to the boxing ring after 15 years outside of the game.

It has been confirmed that the bout will be an eight-round exhibition match set for September 12.

TMZ report that the exhibition mega-bout is pencilled in for 12th September and is being called 'Frontline Battle.'

According to a press release, fans will be able to tune in for the exhibition event from 9:00pm ET on pay-per-view.

The exhibition fight will be the first event held under the 'Legends Only League' brand, which is a collaboration between Tyson and Eros Innovations.
