Boxing legend Mike Tyson made a special visit to rising star Devin Haney’s dressing room inside the Barclays Center, boosting the young fighter’s morale before his impressive victory. The heartwarming moment was captured on video, showcasing Tyson’s continued support for the sport and aspiring boxers.
Haney, who emerged victorious in his recent bout, beamed with delight as he embraced the 57-year-old boxing icon. Tyson, known for his quick wit, couldn’t resist a playful jab, saying, “You look beautiful brother, what you been eating? Bricks?”
Meanwhile, Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz Jr.’s physique became the talk of the boxing world after he missed weight for his clash with Haney. Weighing in 3.2lbs over the agreed limit, Diaz was ineligible to win the WBC super lightweight title despite his eventual victory in the ring. His lack of discipline was apparent during the weigh-in, where he appeared disheveled and launched into a rant.
In contrast, Tyson has displayed remarkable discipline in his preparation for his upcoming fight with Jake Paul on July 20. The 31-year age gap between the two has raised eyebrows, but Tyson remains determined to put on a captivating performance for his fans. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the exact rules of the contest, Tyson Vs Paul promises to be an unforgettable spectacle in the world of boxing.
