Whether it is boxing or football, the debate about the greatest never ceases. Each fan has a different opinion as to why his favorite athlete is the greatest in his sport, or even in all sports in general. Fans can often get very critical if someone claims any athlete other than their choice to be better, and it can easily get out of hand. So it is natural that the following post had the effect it did.

Recently, a Facebook post has caused quite a stir among sports fans. The post featured an image of legendary boxer Mike Tyson and rising football star Kylian Mbappé together, with a caption that declared Tyson the “King of Boxing” and Mbappé the “King of Football”. While this may seem like a harmless social media post, it has sparked a heated debate among fans of both sports.

Many boxing fans were quick to defend Tyson’s title as the “King of Boxing”. They cited his impressive track record and dominant performances in the ring. However, some football fans took issue with the comparison, arguing that it was unfair to compare the two sports. And that Mbappé still has a lot to prove in his career before being declared a “King” of anything.

The picture, in question, is that of the French Open in 2018. The photo was taken when Mbappé sat one row ahead of Mike Tyson. This picture enjoyed a lot of coverage even back then. They watched the match between Sloane Stephens and Anett Kontaveit, with Stephens winning in 52 minutes. Mbappé also took a photo with Mike Tyson, which caused a lot of hilarious reactions from fans even back then.
