Former WWE champion Bobby Lashley claims he once had the opportunity to have a high-profile boxing match against one of the greatest of all time.

“I was also offered a Mike Tyson fight. A few months ago I was offered Mike Tyson. I thought, 'Hmm, that would be a good fight.' People asked me the same question: 'Can I beat Mike Tyson?'
