‘The Greatest Ever’: Mike Tyson Links Up With Fellow Boxing Legend

None one can replicate what Mike Tyson accomplished in the sport of boxing during his prime. Putting the sport in front of the mainstream audience, Tyson became one of the most vicious heavyweight world champions of all time and arguably the greatest ever. While several other legendary names come from the pugilistic community, Tyson may remain one of the brightest ones for obvious reasons.

However, ‘Iron’ Mike recently hailed the boxer, whom he considers the greatest of all time. During the Canelo vs Plant weekend, Tyson was present in person at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. The heavyweight great came across several familiar faces with the likes of WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman, amongst others. Meanwhile, Tyson seemed overjoyed to see Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

‘Iron’ Tyson has been complementary towards Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. on several occasions. On meeting him in person, Mike Tyson called him the “Greatest Ever”. ES NEWS captured both the legends together in one frame, which sent the whole combat world into a frenzy.

Apart from sharing the legendary status, Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. have another thing in common. Both the veterans returned to action recently and delivered a commendable performance even at their age.

As for 59-year-old Chavez Sr., we may not see him lacing the gloves again. However, 55-year-old Tyson has a high possibility of coming back. And he already looks likely to have bagged a blockbuster matchup for himself.
