Mike Tyson was ringside during the Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant event. Going into the fight, Tyson had made it very clear who he was rooting for. ‘Iron’ Mike had predicted that Canelo would destroy Plant, and ‘Sweethands’ was keen to prove Tyson wrong. However, Caleb Plant succumbed to the pressure and power of Canelo Alvarez.

Before the main event, Jim Gray went ringside with Mike Tyson for a quick interview between the rounds of Anthony Dirrell vs Marcos Hernandez.

Tyson confirmed his return to the boxing ring during the interview. When Jim Gray asked if he would fight next year, ‘Iron’ Mike replied, “Yes, I will fight, god willing in February.”

Before seemingly confirming his return, Tyson also spoke about what champions such as Canelo feel going into such a huge fight.

‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ said, “It must be the most scary. It’s a scary feeling, and it’s also mind-boggling, just the fact that you have to fight somebody three times a year.”

“You know, we do for a living what everybody try to avoid for the rest of their lives. Even though he’s a dominant fighter, all fighters are nervous before their fight. If they say they’re not, they’re lying.” 

“It depends on the pressure you put on yourself. That’s what it comes down to. Some people love the pressure and it ignites them. Some people, they give up on the pressure, it’s too overwhelming.”
