The legendary American athlete believes there are few important fights taking place in the division.
Mike Tyson is not happy with what is happening in the modern heavyweight division. The former absolute world champion praised the quality of the current ones, but at the same time he was not satisfied with the small number of matches.
He used as an example Joe Joyce, who, although he lost twice to Zhang Zhilei, was not afraid to enter the ring against the Chinese.
“Everything is different now. The fighters have become more athletic. There are good fighters in the heavyweight division, but they just have to fight each other. Usually the fights between them fall apart. They just have to fight each other one!
Look at Joe Joyce. He fights with anyone. I know he’s been beaten twice, but he’s fighting them. All other men are not fighting anyone to know who they are. They should fight twice or even three times. Fight!” Boxing Social quotes Tyson.
Let’s remember that earlier the promoter criticized the IBF’s decision to allow the Usyk-Fury fight.
