What did Mike Tyson Suggest to Blueface ?

Tyson was fairly impressed by the Blueface’s skills. However, he suggested the rapper stick to fighting other rappers.

Blueface started the conversation by explaining how he got into boxing and what nudged him to have the fight booked. He said that football was not interesting to him anymore since it got “Businessy” for him. But he got into boxing after his love for football wore off.
