The legendary former boxing champion is sure that those around him are just jealous of his success.
Mike Tyson believes that most athletes envy him. This is how the former undisputed world heavyweight champion responded to criticism of his fight with blogger Jake Paul.
“Iron Mike” is sure that those around him cannot accept the fact that he is successful even in retirement from sports.
“I’m 58, so what? I get billions of views just by talking to someone. Everyone, even most athletes, are jealous. That’s low. I said, in your prime, you couldn’t even attract a million people, kid.
What are you saying – you can’t sell out the arena. Who among 58 years old can fill an arena with 80 thousand seats? Why do you think he wants to fight me and not the others?
Everyone wants to meet Paul, every boxer wants to fight him. But if he fought this man, only those who loved him would come. Other people, parents, may not even come to watch their match. That’s right. All these fighters are too boring,” Boxing Scene quotes Tyson as saying.
We remind you that the fight between Tyson and Paul is scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA.
Earlier, the promoter talked about the great excitement in the fight between Tyson and the blogger.
