Mike Tyson made it a point to sit ringside as the Times Square ‘Fatal Fury‘ unfolded. So will he make an appearance at the Honda Center, where, on June 28, his former opponent Jake Paul will take on the son of the boxing icon he used to idolize? At Anaheim’s Honda Center, Paul, who inflicted Tyson’s seventh career loss, is slated to meet Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a ten-round cruiserweight fight. Given his recent message, a few might have doubts.

Last November, Paul and Tyson dished out a fight that was telecast across the world on Netflix. Though the fight per se received a fair share of criticisms, the event turned out to be a huge success. Hence, many expect the Paul-Chavez card to closely follow on the heels of the AT&T show. Now, as far as star power goes, despite his accomplishments and pedigree, Chavez Jr. cannot compete with Mike Tyson. So his presence at the Honda Center could potentially add that extra spark.

Mike Tyson: Off to the ‘City of Angels’

In a video message, the former heavyweight champion, who wore a black tee featuring a ‘Maniacal Iron Mike‘ image, said, “Hey Bangkok, it’s me, Mike Tyson. And coming there very soon. June 14, as the special guest for the WeFi Beyond Banking Summit. Man, it would be awesome. at Sirikit National Convention Center. I hope to see you there….don’t miss out. See you.”

The WeFi, whose Twitter profile describes them as the ‘World’s First DeBank (Decentralized On-Chain Bank),’ also shared the update. Their tweet headline read, “🥊@MikeTyson Enters the Ring at Beyond Banking Summit! 🥊.” It further mentioned, “The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world is bringing his knockout presence to Bangkok on June 14! 💥.”

According to the post, Mike Tyson will reportedly speak on ‘financial freedom.’ So basically, it’s not just a photo-op; it’s a keynote-style contribution. The meet’s VIP exclusive segment, meant for only Platinum, Gold & Silver VIP qualifiers, included a dine-in with Iron Mike. They may also witness the former heavyweight champion receive their highest honor. Those who qualify through global sales achievements will be allowed to take photos with Tyson.

Bringing together experts, top business figures, and influential voices from the field, the WeFi Beyond Banking Summit will reportedly take place at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, a well-known conference venue in Bangkok, Thailand.

Will the ring beckon Iron Mike?

Now, given that Iron Mike explained his schedule, many fans would be wondering whether he would be available for the Paul-Chavez showdown. A globally recognized celebrity, Mike Tyson travels across the globe attending such conferences and meetings. Moreover, being a successful businessman, he fully understands what these events represent for every stakeholder involved.

Boxing-wise, it’s been six months since Tyson faced Jake Paul. After the fight, he famously pointed at Logan Paul when asked about a possible return. However, in a recent interview with Men’s Health, the boxing legend said, “The only person I’m fighting now is my accountant. Other than that, I’m just living life, and I’m doing good right now.” The response more or less hints at what Iron Mike plans to do next.
