According to the spanish news agency (EFE), Mike Tyson will be boxing again on December 20th against a Nenand Stankovic in Serbia, Belgrade. The 43 year old Tyson will take on the local Stankovic who is unbeaten but has not fought since October 20 of 2006 against Corey Sandler.
"My promoter has given me the perfect gift - a fight against Tyson for my 33rd birthday," said Stankovic.
As of yet none of this has been confirmed. EFE is citing serbian news as their source, which makes it difficult to follow up on the facts.
In any case, I for one can't wait to see him in the ring again. Last I heard he'd put on a bunch of weight. I wonder if he could get back into any kind of shape this late in the game.

Funny. I read about this on portal.fo and immediately thought of the Serbian footballer (I think he currently plays for B68).
A quick google search revealed that there is indeed a boxer with that name (as well as an abstract artist, but I doubt he would fight Tyson unless he is trying to do an Andy Kaufman).
