Mike Tyson may have just accidentally revealed that there’s a new Punch-Out!!! game on the way, and he’s not best pleased about the news.
Sharing his outrage with his five million Twitter followers, Tyson tweeted: “heard @Nintendo was doing the new “Punch Out” without even contacting me. it wont be the same. my knockouts made the game. thats whack.”

The tweet has sent the gaming community and classic Nintendo fans into a tizzy, because as far as we’re concerned there’s no new Punch-Out!!! planned…or is there?
If there really is something in the works it’d make a lot of sense. The latest game in the series was way back in 2009 with Doc Louis’s Punch-Out!! Although this one was ported to the Nintendo Switch via the eShop late last year.
If the rumour about a new title being in the works is true, it’s a little sad that Mike Tyson himself isn’t involved.
Nintendo has yet to respond to the tweet, but it’s still online at the time of writing. Let’s see if Nintendo makes him delete it…

Tyson’s tweet caught the eye of none other than Ninja, who responded with an image of a signed and sealed Punch-Out!!! item which he apparently won in a charity auction.
Got this at a charity auction, gave away some stuff already!

Would you like to see a new Punch-Out!!! game? Even if it doesn’t have Mike Tyson in it?
