Tyson stated, “This is called an exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you will not see any of the laws that we’re fighting under. This is a fight.”
“You were saying brother, with Mike Tyson like, did you see the clips of him moving bro?”
“Bro, imagine he goes in there and just clips the guy bro. Hope he gets something crazy and he says his back is broken. That iconic speech. Yet another iconic speech from him. Cause everybody saw him walk around with the cane right? What if he’s trolling everybody? What if he knew bro? What if he knew something we didn’t know? What if he’s Ryan Garcia-ing us, all over you know…”

He revealed, “At least I know, I talked to his wife a couple of days ago. And he’s taking it serious, and he’s training for it and you know, so we’ll see how it plays out.”
