Mark Gastineau said in Vancouver, Canada, that he was taking up boxing with the idea of building up to a fight against heavyweight championship Mike Tyson.

The 6-foot 6-inch, 260-pound former defensive end for the New York Jets said that at age 32 he was not too old to become heavyweight champion, adding: “I loved crushing quarterbacks, but deep down I’ve always wanted to become a fighter.”
