Being an athlete entails extreme dedication toward fitness, regardless of the sport. Boxers are notoriously known for their incredible physique. Similarly, basketball players are strong and agile as well. However, pitting them against each other for a fight could turn out to be fatal. The NBA star Donovan Mitchell shares this notion.

The Utah Jazz player claimed that people on Twitter tweet whatever they feel like with no basis when a fan claimed that LeBron James can beat Mike Tyson.

Donovan Mitchell calls out Twitter fans

Twitter, being a free social media platform, is subject to different opinions. One fan suggested the idea of a crossover event where the four-time NBA champion LeBron James would take on the two-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in his prime in a boxing match.

Additionally, the fan made a shocking claim as he picked ‘King James’ over the ‘Baddest Man on Planet’ to win the fight. He said, “This would be a good ass fight but honestly I’m taking Lebron…he’s just a built different.”

Mitchell asked his mom and sister an interesting question about Mike Tyson

The American basketball player revealed on Twitter that he asked his mom and sister whether they would let Mike Tyson punch them in the face for $10 million. Consequently, fans themselves responded to the situation.

Surprisingly, most fans were up for being punched by the former heavyweight champion for a whopping $10 million. One fan claimed he would get punched 10 times for that amount of money, whereas another fan stated he would even do it for $10,000.

Finally, one fan hilariously claimed that he would let Tyson punch him “every single day for the rest of my life for 10 mill.”

It’s no surprise that $10 million is a lot of money when many people are willing to take a punch by one of the most dangerous boxers of all time and risk their lives.
