He emphasized the magnitude of the event, highlighting its historic significance as it unfolds in one of the largest NFL stadiums in the United States, broadcasted live on a global streaming platform.
Whether viewers are tuning in via Netflix or attending in person, whether they’re rooting for Team Paul or Team Tyson, or whether they’re seasoned boxing enthusiasts or newcomers to the sport, the anticipation for this event is palpable.
In anticipation of the clash, Tyson shared his perspective, reminiscing about how he kickstarted Paul’s boxing journey on the undercard of his fight with Roy Jones Jr and now aims to conclude it in their upcoming showdown on July 20.
