One of the most exciting fighters of our generation to watch (both in AND out of the ring) is set to make a comeback.

Tyson
, 40, admits that the money earned in the ring will make him feel better.“The money I make here is not going to help any of my bills really from a tremendous standpoint,”
he says. “But I’m going to feel better about myself. I’m not going to be depressed.”

Tyson
, who has fallen on hard times, also seems to be boxing with his place in society.“I think I’m useless to society. I don’t think I’m worthy of the people who come out to see me, but they do.”
The first match in the Mike Tyson World Tour will likely take place this Oct. 20 against former sparring partner Corey “T-Rex” Sanders in Youngstown , Ohio .
Despite vowing to never return to the ring, Tyson says that he may one day, be forced to come back if his financial situation does not improve.
