However, Hatton, whose quest to come out of retirement in 2012 backfired after being inactive for three years has advised Tyson to stay retired.

“Mike’s in a good place now. When he retired, he wasn’t in a good place. He was on treatment.
"Now he’s doing positive things, and he’s doing motivational speaking. He’s talking well and looking well. It’s one thing that you’re talking well and looking well, but you’re 53.
“We all make comebacks because we have so much to improve. That’s why I came back because I felt like I had to redeem myself.

"But Mike has mentally got himself on track, not just physically on track. He’s looking better, talking better, and feeling better.
“Now his body is right, and his head is right, why is he thinking comeback? I don’t get it. It would be a tragedy for him after he went through all those bad times, and got back on the straight and narrow to do himself some serious injury.
“But with Mike making a comeback, I really hope he doesn’t. I think I’m not alone saying that."
