According to Bobby Lashley, he was offered a fight against Tyson.

"I was offered a Mike Tyson fight also. I was offered Mike Tyson several months back. I was like, 'Hmm, that would be a good fight.' People asked me the same question, 'Can I beat Mike Tyson?' I'm not going to say, 'Oh yeah, I can beat Mike Tyson,' but I would like to do the fight. That's what it's all about to me. As a competitor, as a fighter, I'm going to take a fight that comes my way. If it makes sense, I'll do it," he said during a K&S WrestleFest signing.

Lasley previously said in August 2022 that he was offered a fight against Mike Tyson.

Lashley is currently a free agent after his WWE departure in August. Elsewhere during the virtual signing, Lashley commented on his future in wrestling. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
