Mike Tyson believes the sky is the limit for Dana White\u2019s new sports league.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UFC CEO entered the boxing world with a bang by\u00a0promoting Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford in September.<\/p>\n

With some help from Saudi boxing chief\u00a0Turki Alalshikh,\u00a0Dana White\u00a0plans to revolutionize boxing over the next few years.<\/p>\n

In 2026, 12 Zuffa Boxing shows will air on Paramount, which recently\u00a0struck a $7.7 billion deal to become the home of the UFC for the next seven years.<\/p>\n

Mike Tyson made his feelings clear on Dana White\u2019s revolutionary boxing league earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The former undisputed heavyweight champion believes his long-time friend is great for the sport.<\/p>\n

\u2018Iron Mike\u2019 wants to get involved in Zuffa Boxing and help White achieve a lasting legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he would do well to have more options,\u201d Tyson told\u00a0HardRockbet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, if he hired me, he would win totally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew Dana when he had hair. What he does, the UFC [is great].<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we\u2019re going to get him over to boxing and help him become the greatest promoter of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike Tyson ended his 19-year retirement to face YouTuber-turned-boxer\u00a0Jake Paul\u00a0in November 2024.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old suffered a unanimous decision defeat, but walked away a winner after\u00a0banking $20 million for his comeback\u00a0bout.<\/p>\n

Now he\u2019s set to face fellow ring legend\u00a0Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition\u00a0scheduled for next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like he\u2019s going to get knocked out,\u201d Tyson said of his fight with the 50-0 boxing icon<\/p>\n

Stay tuned to Bloody Elbow for all the updates on Tyson and Mayweather ahead of their mismatch.<\/p>\n

Larry Holmes suffered only one stoppage defeat during his illustrious career, succumbing to the astounding power of Mike Tyson in 1988. Yet, \u2018The Easton Assassin\u2019 maintains that Tyson was not the fighter who provided him with his toughest fight.<\/p>\n

Holmes\u2019 legendary seven-year run as the heavyweight ruler remains as one of the most prestigious reigns in boxing history,\u00a0reaching 48-0 as a professional and registering 20 successful title defences during that time.<\/p>\n

However, consecutive losses to Michael Spinks cost Holmes his title, leading to his retirement in 1986, before a comeback against Mike Tyson two years later resulted in a fabled beatdown; where\u00a0\u2018Iron Mike\u2019 famously avenged the defeat of his idol, Muhammad Ali, by halting Holmes.<\/p>\n

Although, whilst that bout is still considered as one of the hardest to watch for fans of the heavyweight division, Holmes told\u00a0TMZ\u00a0that he believes his split decision victory over Ken Norton, when he first got his hands on the WBC title in 1978, was the toughest fight of his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorton [was the best I faced]. My toughest fight was Kenny Norton.<\/p>\n

I fought Tyson when I was kind of over the hill a little bit. I had retired then come back and fought Mike Tyson, and I wasn\u2019t really in shape for it, but you know what, I did what I did at that time. But, if I had to do it all over again, I would have taken more time and done it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holmes continued to fight for a further 14 years following his damning defeat to Tyson, twice challenging for the heavyweight crown before hanging up the gloves with a record of 69-6 in 2002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
