British domestic level heavyweight David Allen says he would beat 53-year-old Mike Tyson, reports boxingnews24.com.
He feels that Iron Mike shouldn’t come out of retirement. Allen admits that it would be sad if he beat Tyson because he’s not on the same level as him.
“A lot of people would laugh at this, but this is the facts. I’d beat a 53-year-old Mike Tyson,” said Allen to Talksport.com. “And that is the saddest thing any boxing fan wants to hear. For that reason alone, he should never box again.”
If Tyson did lose to a fighter like Allen, he would likely retire on the spot, and never fight again.
Allen’s best career wins have come against David Price and former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne.
