Boxing legend Mike Tyson throughout the years has expressed his deep love for music. He is known for having a diverse taste in music and he appreciates various genres. Moreover, he has been seen socializing and collaborating with various different music artists, even during his boxing days. This list has only increased ever since he started his podcast. Even during his prime era, his boxing entrances included a variety of different music, some of which were enough to strike fear into the heart of his opponents.
This seems to be the reason behind Tyson’s disappointment as he found he wouldn’t be able to attend Colombian singer J Balvin‘s Paris Tour this year. Tyson appeared too jovial at the beginning however, he seemed disappointed when he found out he wouldn’t be able to attend it even after the Latin star gave him an invitation.

Singer, songwriter, and record producer J Balvin appeared on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. At one point, Tyson asked Balvin about his performance with Beyoncé at Coachella. Whoo Kid then asked Mike if he had attended Coachella yet, to which Tyson told, no he had not, however, he plans on attending it “very soon”. Balvin then invites him to go next year to which Tyson simply replied by saying, “God willing”.
Whoo Kid suggested that Balvin should bring Tyson on his next show and then asked him about his next show. Balvin shared that he is starting on June 26. This prompted the Brooklyn native to ask his co-host about the date of the French Open. However, Tyson was told that the event would start on May 22nd. Balvin himself appeared disappointed as he said that he is going to be there for rehearsing. Moreover, Tyson appeared to be visibly upset too as he yelled, “Oh come on man”. The French Open will finish on June 11th and this leaves a long gap between it and Balvin’s show. Thus, Tyson will most likely be unable to attend the event.
