Heralding the opinions we first have Patrick McGee who believes that “Mike Tyson training someone, and doing it physically like he did 30 years ago, should make Fury worry. Seriously!”

On the other hand, the following user argues saying, “Only thing wrong about Tyson training him is that the peek a boo style he learned from Cus D’amato is outdated. One hard hook destroys it.”

Meanwhile, Dee Mack emphasized that “MIKE TYSON IS STILL A STRONG FORCE TO EXPERIENCE….I PRAY FOR ANY MAN STEPPING IN THE RING WITH HIM…. EVER.”

However, Cliff expresses concern, stating, “Pure stupidity to throw this man in there with a super elite super experienced highly trained boxer like Tyson Fury smh. Mike, I understand you were one of the greatest but you can’t get in there and fight for him. You’re training him to KO him?? Good luck.”

Finally, Hughs adds a different perspective, suggesting that “Fury should pay royalties to Mike Tyson for presuming to be good enough to use his name. So incredibly disrespectful.”
