TMZ SPORTS — 58-year-old Iran Barkley — Saquon Barkley’s famous boxing uncle — says he ain’t done in the ring yet … ’cause he’s telling TMZ Sports he wants one last fight … WITH DEONTAY WILDER!!
“I want to fight the heavyweight champ of the world,” Iran says … “I’m looking for that.”
If you’re unfamiliar … Iran was actually a world champion boxer back in the day — with 2 victories over Tommy Hearns and a near win over Roberto Duran on his 43-19-1 resume.
But, even though the guy hasn’t fought since 1999 … he says he ain’t ready to hang up his gloves yet — ’cause he wants one last fight with Wilder!!
Oh, and he says he’ll win that, too, telling Wilder, “I bet I knock you out!!!”
By the way, Iran is Saquon’s great-uncle, and Saquon’s credited him in the past as a big reason why he’s become one of the NFL’s toughest running backs.
Which only means one thing … better watch out for Saquon’s high-school-aged little bro in a couple of years!!!
