Under unprecedented circumstances, the life of the 24-year-old NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. came to a tragic halt. Drafted in the year 2019, Haskins represented two distinct franchises, Washington Redskins, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Although a full-fledged footballer from start to finish, Haskins enjoyed a wide variety of contact/combat sports. Boxing was one of them. And back in 2020, here’s how he paid homage to the legendary boxer, the Kid Dynamite, Mike Tyson.

In a tweet, he asked a somewhat rhetorical question to his fans and followers on Twitter. “Serious question, who would want to fight Mike Tyson?” This was around the time when the former world champion announced a comeback after 15 long years of absence from the game.

Certainly, as Haskins had implied back then, who would ever dare fight ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson? At the age of only 20, the Kid Dynamite was a world champion!
