"According to a source close to Tyson, former Promoter Don King has a tentative deal for Tyson to return to the ring in late 2010. The initial plan is to have Tyson-Holyfield III, but there is rumored hesitation on the part of Iron Mike, and there is a plan B."
"A Connecticut heavyweight named Tony Grano, former cruiserweight champ, Jean Marc Mormeck, Vinny Maddalone, and Derric Rossy have all been mentioned as potential first or second comeback opponents for Tyson."

I bet Mike is tentative about taking another fight with Holyfield. Holyfield has abused Tyson enough in his career.
Tyson has tried to come back before it wasn't pretty. Tyson was not what he was made out to be. He was a huge guy with a ton of power. However once his unbeatable mystique was gone his career was pretty much over. Tyson was a great boxer till he got beat once he got beat I don't think he believed he was that good anymore. Confidence means a ton in the fight game and I don't think he had the belief once Buster put the beating on him. He certainly didn't belive anymore after Holyfield was completely dismantling him and he bit his ear for a way out of the fight.
If Tyson is coming back I want to see Tyson vs Bob Sapp K1. Holyfield Tyson is pointless. Holyfield doesn't need his brain taking anymore abuse as it is. I really wish he would retire. He is one of my favorite boxers of all time and I don't want him to be like Ali in another 15 or 20 years.
And shouldn't this be in Off Topic?
