Mike Tyson is the most flamboyant combat sports personality who stirs the sports with his statements. Despite leaving the sport for good almost two decades ago, he still stays in the limelight and grabs attention like an active pugilist.
Moreover, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ stays highly active among hardcore boxing fans with his Hotboxin’ podcast. In his fresh podcast, UFC stars Henry Cejudo and Khabib Nurmagomedov joined Tyson.
Here, the former shed some light on Tyson’s size and he asserted that the 55-year-old seemed more of a cruiserweight to him. ‘Iron’ Mike then came up with a staggering statement on Cejudo’s comments. He said, “The testing (weighing) scale, it doesn’t show how much heart you got.”
