“I was nervous. He is 56 years old. Time is undefeated. Time takes us all down. One of the things that I was worried for Mike is, yes, he still has the aura still. Fighting is a young man’s game.”
Mike Tyson looked brilliant even at 54. Since the exhibition bout was a PPV, one would hope that both the boxers went home with pockets full of cash. Dana White subtly implied that both the former champions made tons of money from the PPV event.
“All that being said, he looked f*****g awesome tonight. I was blown away by how good he looked. I was worried about Roy. He is 51 years old.
“Roy has been way more active than Tyson has been. Roy actually got more tired than Mike tonight, which was shocking. I am happy for him, I hope they both made a f*****g zillion dollars. It exceeded my expectations.”
Who’s next for Mike Tyson?
Mike Tyson did not even think for a second before announcing that he wants to be back inside the boxing ring soon enough. While he urged Roy Jones Jr. for a rematch after the exhibition bout ended on a draw, he has also called out former champion Evander Holyfield for a scrap.
