I'll just link this Twitter/X/xHamster post here & you will know which camp I support:
He's basically bankrupt, so he's using his legacy to build bank. A bit kak, but it is what it is. It's not sanctioned by the WBO so I'm not sure if it counts on their records anyway...In my opinion, this is all staged, and it is sad. This is WWE, it is physical theatre.
Mike Tyson loses, I won't remember who he is. At his age, he shouldn't be in the ring. Live long with your legacy, don't throw it away.
Let's not get carried away thinking this is a real match,, and I don't really think that anyone is expecting a fight of the century were the 60 year old wins but since its all staged what ever outcome will be debated as being intentional or not.The only way Tyson wins is if he 'accidently' knocks the douchebag out.
Hence i said accidently because its 99% probability its staged.Let's not get carried away thinking this is a real match,, and I don't really think that anyone is expecting a fight of the century were the 60 year old wins but since its all staged what ever outcome will be debated as being intentional or not.
I'm sure, it 3am SAST.Even if staged, I'm holding thumbs for old man Tyson.
Seems like their fight will start at 6am?
I think that is when the main card or event starts, and there are earlier fights. I know nothing about boxing or how the events or coverage works, though.I'm sure, it 3am SAST.
Yeah , I also don't know a lot about boxing but 3am is what Netflix SA is showing as starting time.I think that is when the main card or event starts, and there are earlier fights. I know nothing about boxing or how the events or coverage works, though.

Both boxers will wear heavy 14oz gloves to slow down hands and cushion impacts, rather than the standard 10oz gloves. The fight will take place across eight two-minute rounds, rather than the usual 12 three-minute rounds.
That was a long time ago and a very different Tyson. It is not just that he is nearly 60 years old; he suffered a major health scare this year and “nearly died”, in his own words. Taking punishment from the younger, fitter man would be a disturbing sight even for boxing, which is why it probably won’t happen.
The details of Mike Tyson’s health scare this year have been revealed in a new documentary.
And in one scene, filmed earlier this year, Tyson describes the incident that postponed the controversial contest.
“A week-and-a-half ago, I was training and I was doing great, but then all of a sudden, I started feeling tired,” said the 58-year-old. “I was explaining to my trainer: ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with me.’
“Coming here from Miami on the plane, I went to the bathroom and I threw up blood. The next thing I know, I’m on the floor. I was defecating tar.
