Paul Gallen has admitted that he wants to test himself against Mike Tyson, but he called a potential fight between the boxing champion and himself unrealistic.
Tyson is trying to make a return to boxing, with Jeff Fenech predicting that he would be ready for murder if Gallen or Sonny Bill Williams entered the ring with the fighter who was once called “the baddest man on the planet.”

“It’s just Mike Tyson now. Barry Hall, Sonny Bill, Mark Hunt. All the NRL players want to fight me, and now Mike Tyson, so I don’t know when I’m going to find time to do it all.” Gallen said in Sunday Footy Show.
“Let’s be honest, it’s not going to happen. But I would get in the ring with Mike Tyson just to have the honor of being able to get in the ring with him.
“It is the biggest name in boxing history. While I went out and survived to tell the story.
Brad Fittler pressured Gallen on how many rounds he thought he could go with Tyson at 53 years old.
“I don’t know, I hope to get through one,” Gallen said.

“But look, it’s so unrealistic. They’re talking about Mike Tyson, boxing’s biggest name going out to Australia for around a million dollars.
“It is so unrealistic that it is not funny and I think the whole chat should probably stop. It’s been going on for about a week, so we’re going to let it go. “
“Imagine fighting him who would be crazy,” Fittler chimed in.
“That’s what I think, but imagine the adrenaline rush to get out of the ring and say you entered the ring with Mike Tyson,” Gallen said.
“We all know it is not going to happen, but this week’s chat has gone crazy. It’s been everywhere. “
