Mike Tyson says he will be getting back in the ring this spring, but his opponent has not been revealed.

Tyson confirmed on his "Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson" podcast that he has a fight lined up for the end of May at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Details are scarce at this point, with Tyson saying he's targeting May 29 as the fight date.

Tyson last appeared in the ring in a November exhibition matchup with Roy Jones Jr., fighting to an eight-round draw.

Back in December, Evander Holyfield called for a rematch with Tyson to make their famous rivalry into a trilogy. Could this be the May bout Tyson was hinting at? Only time will tell.
