Boxing legend Butterbean keeps adding people to his list of potential comeback opponents.
The 58-year-old has already called out Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, Brock Lesnar, and Eddie Hall.
Now, he’s eyeing fights with a famous father-son duo ahead of his first boxing bout since 2013.
Butterbean wants to face John Fury in a ‘warm-up’ before facing his two-time heavyweight champion son, Tyson Fury.

Butterbean’s ultimate goal is to test himself against the very best fighters in boxing.
However, he’d be willing to have a scrap with Fury’s 60-year-old father to show he can still bang.
“I’d fight the old man first, beat him up, slap around him pretty good,” Butterbean told The Mirror.
“And then I’d want to beat the son up pretty bad. I would love to fight Tyson Fury.
“You know, I was offered to fight his dad. And it’s been a while back.
“I’d love to fight him, either one of them. But yeah, Tyson Fury is the one I’d really want.
“His dad would be an easy fight. That’d be a couple-rounder. I’d be like, ‘Go out there and just have fun and then get ready for the son.’ It’d be a warm-up fight.
“I mean, now that I believe in myself, I can do anything. And since I’m in such great shape, I know I can accomplish my goals.”
Why is Butterbean making a comeback?
Butterbean worryingly ballooned up to 500lbs after walking away from his combat sports career.
The massive weight gain left him confined to a wheelchair, before he completed a dramatic 220lb body transformation.
Now, the ‘300-fight’ veteran wants to return to the ring and prove you can bounce back from anything.
“I wanna do one more fight to prove to people that no matter how down you get, if you believe in yourself like I believe in myself, you can accomplish anything,” Butterbean said during an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow.
“I wanna do it this year. Most definitely this year.”
