The footage which shows the 53-year-old run the clock back with impressive footwork and devastating striking skills has even earned Tyson a multi-million dollar offer to sign with Bare Knuckle FC.
Tyson is all praises for McGregor
Speaking on his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, the former heavyweight champion showered praises on UFC’s poster boy Conor McGregor. UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou appeared on the podcast as a guest and while discussing boxing vs. MMA crossover matchups, Tyson said that crossover matchups should be taken more seriously and not merely as a spectacle because a certain Irishman (McGregor) who lasted ten rounds against Floyd Mayweather on his boxing debut proved that mixed martial artists mean business even inside the squared circle.
The southpaw thanked Tyson on Twitter for his kind words and vowed to avenge his loss against Mayweather. If there is ever a rematch between Mayweather and McGregor, who knows we might even get to see “Iron Mike” standing at the “Notorious One’s” corner.
