At 38, Mike Tyson thinks he can be champion again

Mike Tyson is looking beyond Friday's fight with Danny Williams and towards reclaiming the world heavyweight title.

Tyson's trainer Freddie Roach believes he will be ready to challenge Vitali Klitschko within three more fights if he defeats Londoner Williams in Louisville.

The former undisputed king has not held a version of the world title since losing the WBA version to Evander Holyfield in November 1996.

But Roach said: 'Mike has rededicated himself and he is working hard. If he gets back to a certain level he can beat those champions out there.'
