Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship president David Feldman looked to seize an opportunity with a mega offer.

Feldman told Ring magazine that they offered Tyson US $20 million and some additional benefits, but he turned it down.

Tyson continues to post regular social media updates of himself looking fit and dangerous in training videos.
