MIKE TYSON says he wants to ‘go all out’ in his next fight after making his boxing comeback against Roy Jones Jr.
The two legends fought to a draw in an exhibition in December that wasn’t the most pleasing on the eye.
But Tyson insisted it was all his plan to ‘go the distance’ – and that next time won’t be the same.
Speaking with Dana White and ex-boxer Zab Judah on his Hotboxin’ podcast, Iron Mike said: “I felt better than I anticipated, I thought I would be a little more nervous than I was, but I was relaxed.
“I felt like ‘wow’ – I could do some more, I could punch more combinations, I could do this and do that.
“I said ‘wow, this is interesting’ and I want to do it again and I want to do it against someone I could go all out on.
“It made me interested in wanting to do it again
“I wanted to go the distance, I didn’t want to knock anybody out, that’s what people expected, but I wanted to go the distance.”
Tyson spoke immediately after the fight saying that he intends to carry on in exhibitions, even offering Jones Jr a rematch.
But his Florida opponent that night didn’t seem too keen.

In the podcast Tyson also revealed he was running six miles a day to prepare for his big boxing comeback.
And the 54-year-old is continuing on with his vigorous training routine – with fight fans praying he gets the Evander Holyfield trilogy fight.
Holyfield has two pro victories against Tyson – including the ear-biting disqualification that shocked the sport in 1997.
The Real Deal has also been sharing his own training videos and has called for a deal to be thrashed out for the fight.
