WBA champion Trevor Bryan wants to fight Mike Tyson ahead of a bout with either Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury.
The 31-year-old American is the current WBA ‘Regular’ champion, a belt last held by Tyson in 1996. Tyson last fought for a major belt back in 2002, and most recently put on an exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr in November at the age of 54.
He is expected to fight another former world heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis, with a fight potentially set for this September.
However World Boxing News reports that Bryan wants to prepare for a full championship fight with Joshua or Fury, and will do so with a fight against Tyson.
He said: “Bring on Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. I’ll take their belts and become the undisputed heavyweight champion.
“I’ll even give Iron Mike Tyson the opportunity to come back and fight me for my title. I’m more than ready, so let’s get it on. We are ready to go.
"I’ll take on Mike Tyson for a tune-up, and then I’ll fight either Joshua or Fury the same night.”
Joshua and Fury are still in negotiations to finalise their two-fight deal, with WBC champion Fury reportedly growing frustrated with the time it is taking to confirm the event.
