Mike Tyson delivered one of the ‘baddest’ call-outs of all time when he challenged Lennox Lewis after knocking out Lou Savarese in the first round of their fight at the UK in 2000. Lewis was a hometown hero back then and one of the most brutal heavyweight kingpins of the time. It had him on a similar level to Mike Tyson, who was already a legend of the sport.

However, Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson didn’t have mutual respect and produced a historic bad-blood rivalry in boxing. Well, after decades of differences, Tyson has finally immortalized his infamous call-out of Lewis in his official merchandise.

The former heavyweight champion posted the clip of his post-fight interview, where he had demanded to eat Lewis’ children. It had caused widespread controversy back then. But today Tyson is still using it to market his merchandise. Here’s a look at the T-shirt that replicates the famous quotes of ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’.

A portion of the entire quote read, “I am the best ever. I am the most brutal, vicious, ruthless, champion there’s ever been. There’s no one that can stop me. I am Alexander. He [Lennox Lewis] is no Alexander. I am the best ever. There’s never been anybody as ruthless, there’s no one like me.”

“I am from their cloth. There’s no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense impregnable, and I am just ferocious. I want your heart.”

Well, these bold claims didn’t really work well for Mike Tyson when he entered the ring against Lennox Lewis. Following the call-out, Tyson scored one more win before finally facing Lewis, who beat him.
