If Mike Tyson wins against Jake Paul in his boxing match on November 15th on Netflix, another heavyweight legend will be interested in a high-profile fight.

His former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis told TMZ that if Tyson wins, he would be open to a rematch against him at some point.

“Let’s see how he does in this fight and then I’ll tell you,” Lewis said of a possible return to the ring against Tyson.

Lewis and Tyson faced off in a major fight in 2002, which was preceded by a press conference brawl between both boxers and their entourage. The event attracted a star-studded crowd who watched Lewis win by eighth-round knockout and defend his heavyweight title. Both fighters earned a disclosed fight budget of $17.5 million.

Lewis also expressed confidence in Tyson’s chances against Paul, despite the 31-year age difference between the pair.

“If he’s in good shape, he should be fine,” Lewis said.

Tyson and Paul will compete at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in the first combat sports event ever to be broadcast live on Netflix.
