Professional boxing legend Mike Tyson, who arrived in Riyadh for the fight between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury, has responded to Fedor Emelianenko, who two months ago announced his desire to share the ring with him.
“No, there will be no fight. Fedor is one of my idols,” “Iron Mike” said in an interview with the channel “Ushataika” after a press conference in Riyadh.
Fedor Emelianenko, 47, made a failed attempt to take the Bellator heavyweight title from Ryan Bader in February this year, losing to the American by technical knockout in the first round before announcing his retirement.
Mike Tyson, 57, resumed his career in November 2020 after a fifteen-year hiatus, drawing an exhibition boxing match against 54-year-old Roy Jones, Jr.
This weekend, Iron Mike will be seconding The Predator, who will attempt to do the impossible and defeat The Gypsy King, who is one of the best boxers of our time, in a boxing match.
