Mike Tyson recently went to Diriyah, Saudi Arabia to attend the Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fight. Now the fight had garnered great interest from all around the world, as it was the biggest fight in the month of February. A lot of big names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Devin Haney, Deontay Wilder, and many more attended the extravagant event. Now, Mike Tyson converted to Islam back when he was in prison in 1992. And since then he’s been devoted to being a Muslim, and recently a video has surfaced where he could be seen attending the Hajj at Mecca.

Now Mike Tyson joined his fellow Muslim boxers on his way to Mecca from Diriyah. He went alongside Undisputed champion Devin Haney, WBC cruiserweight champion, Badou Jack, and the rising star, Ziyad Almaayouf,  to an Islamic holy site,  Mecca. Now the vlog of Tyson’s journey was posted on Youtube by Boxing King Media.

The fans are a bit upset about the vlog because even people offering prayer was recorded. And according to fans, prayer is quite personal in a person’s life and must stay off the camera. So, fans did express their disagreement with the video being filmed at the time of Mike Tyson performing his prayer. And he’s quite devoted to his religion. At one time, Mike Tyson ended the debate surrounding his religion with one compelling answer.
