Mike Tyson is back in the fight game.

Over the weekend, Tyson appeared at All Elite Wrestling's Double or Nothing event to present the company's new TNT championship belt to its inaugural champion, Cody Rhodes.

On Wednesday night, "Iron" Mike Tyson followed that up with some action in the ring, appearing on the brand's weekly show, "AEW Dynamite," to confront the former champion Chris Jericho and his faction, the Inner Circle.

Tyson, flanked by a crew of MMA fighters including Vitor Belfort, Henry Cejudo, and Rashad Evans, got face-to-face with Jericho, who demanded an apology he had wanted for 10 years.

Jericho was referring to an incident that took place in WWE back in 2010. After teaming up with Jericho for a tag-team match, Tyson turned on Jericho to help Triple H and Shawn Michaels of D-Generation X take the victory.

"I'm going to say this to you one time, Tyson," Jericho said. "Shut your mouth when I'm talking to you."

"I have been dreaming of this moment for 10 years," Jericho said. "You turned on me. You looked me in the eye and said that I could trust you, and then you turned on me, and you knocked me out."

"Because you're a sucker, man, you deserved that," Tyson said, grabbing the microphone from Jericho.

Things escalated from there, with Jericho demanding an apology. In response, Tyson tore off his shirt, which held up surprisingly well in the hands of the former heavyweight champion, and then flexed in the face of Jericho. The two exchanged shoves and then a full-on brawl broke out between the two sides.

By the looks of it, Tyson's feud with Jericho is only beginning. After the brawl was finally broken up, Tyson promised another fight with Jericho was coming.

And Jericho promised some retribution of his own.

Tyson had teased a comeback in recent weeks after footage showed the 53-year-old fighter still had plenty of speed and power behind his punches. While a return to the boxing ring remains to be seen, it's clear that Tyson is still eager for a fight.
