Negotiations for an exhibition fight between Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson fell apart due to Tyson's demand for $500 million. Fury confirmed that discussions were serious but ultimately failed when the financial offer was deemed insufficient. Fury received a $10 million offer from ESPN for the fight, but he felt it was not competitive with Tyson's expectations. Instead, Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. Currently, Tyson is set to return to the ring against Jake Paul on November 15. This matchup has generated excitement, but many fans still wonder about the potential of a Fury-Tyson fight.
