More news on Tyson...

Mike Tysonhahaha8217;s appearance at the Pride 32: The Real Deal Press Conference sparked many rumours on if and when Iron Mike will participate in a Pride event.

Pridehahaha8217;s President, Nobyuki Sakikabara has revealed that Dream Stage Entertainment do have a contract with the former Boxing World Champion. Mike Tyson will fight in Pride but not under MMA rules. Tyson will most likely take part in a bout which will be held under hahaha8220;Special Boxing Ruleshahaha8221;. The freshest rumour from Croatia is that Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic is being lined up to be Tysonhahaha8217;s opponent for that bout.

It was also revealed that Tyson will definitely not fight in Japan, most probably because of Japanhahaha8217;s strict laws prohibiting the entry of foreign nationals with a criminal record. This leads us to believe that Tyson will fight in one of Pridehahaha8217;s new branch events that are planned for China, Russia, Europe but the smart money is on a Pride USA show.
