‘Reminds Me of Hakeem training LeBron’: Mike Tyson’s Latest Move Leave Fans Stunned

Just imagine you are at the juncture where a small mistake inside the ring could direct you to either glory or misery. But in those jittery moments, a few words of encouragement may set you on the right course. What if those soothing words came off Mike Tyson? Dereck Chisora lost the trilogy fight against Tyson Fury on 3rd December at Tottenham Hotspur stadium in front of a 60,000-strong crowd.

Online sports portal talksport.com’s editor Michael Benson shared a pic of the youngest Heavyweight champion in boxing’s history, chatting with Derek Chisora.

Iron tight lesson for The Del War Boy

As much as it stole fans’ hearts, the moving pic managed to draw a few one-of-a-kind reactions.

 

It was difficult to stop a few Tyson Fury fans.

But soon, the sentiments bounced back.

Some fans took on Michael Benson for the range of tweets he shares with everyone.

For the thirty-eight-year-old Del Boy War, the writing was on the wall. Despite going all-hearts out, few doubted the shocking outcome of the third Fury – Chisora fight. Outclassed by the six feet and nine inches gigantic Mancunian, beyond the shadow of a doubt, most felt that the battle dragged unnecessarily.

Calls for retirement abound for the Harare-born Chisora. But the famous boxer who still carries some weight in pulling out a decent crowd feels some bit of boxing left in him.

A pep-talk with a boxing legend will not harm either. Mike Tyson has been through those times, bereft of any title, one after the other personal problems. Now, as a boxing elder, he can share his wisdom and life experiences.

The small forward who showed me The Dream

Sporting history is replete with examples of former legends mentoring a novice or even an up-and-coming prodigy needing a few corrections.

One of the fans couldn’t help but recollect when a young and upcoming basketball player learned a few nuances of the sport from a living legend.

A search on YouTube will take you back to when Hakeem Olajuwon took some time off to teach a much younger LeBron James. Nigeria-born Hakeem The Dream began his career in 1984 and retired in 2002, a year before nineteen-year-old LeBron debuted. He is the first player in the NBA to be conferred with the Most Valuable Player (MVP), Finals MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year awards in a single season.

Rules, paradigms, and the overall ecosystem change. However, one cannot negate the importance of fundamentals. On the contrary, they become all the more relevant and omnipotent. Moreover, timely dissemination of wisdom from the past often helps the new generation reorient itself to correct its path.
