Is there anyone comparable to the iconic Mike Tyson? Isaac Cruz seems to think he is the Mexican version of the former heavyweight champion. At least that’s what he claimed in his latest social media post. The Mexico City native is coming off a massive win over Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero via eight round technical knockout.

After his win, ‘Pitbull’ Cruz became the WBA super lightweight champion. Nonetheless, it was during his battle against Gervonta Davis in December 2021 that Mike Tyson himself declared Cruz to be the sole boxer who resembles him. And guess what! Even fans could not deny Cruz’s skills and ferocity after the Romero fight!

Isaac Cruz: The new social media sensation

Following his spectacular win Saturday night, the 26-2-1 boxer immediately became a hit on social media. The clip of him knocking out Romero started swirling across the internet, resulting in the biggest surge in his Instagram following. With his new found following, ‘Pitbull’ Cruz shared a post earlier today that had everyone rallying behind him.

He shared an image of him and Mike Tyson side by side with the caption of the post reading, “Mexican Mike Tyson.” Moreover, even Cruz’s manager has the same idea as he called Cruz the Mexican Mike Tyson in an interview with Boxing Scene. So, when the boxing world discovered the post, they couldn’t deny the similarities.
