Good news, fight fans: Mike Tyson is not coming out of retirement.

The heavyweight boxing legend has put an end to strong rumours that he was ready to step into the ring for a final fight with another veteran, 46-year-old James Toney.

Despite the fact that 'Iron' Mike hasn't fought in ten years now and ex-WBA heavyweight title holder Toney was last seen fighting to a three-round loss in 2013, a source close to Toney said the fight was "90% done".

Thankfully, Tyson put an end to those rumours on Twitter.

James Toney was on the come up while Tyson was world heavyweight champion.

Let's be thankful that Mike Tyson isn't desperate enough to fight again at 48-years-old.
