Mike Tyson calls one boxer who cannot be beaten and admits that he “scared” to fight him

Published

The boxing icon, Mike Tyson, called David Benavidez as the only man he would like to fight. The 59-year-old legend even baptized Benavidez with her nickname “Mexican monster” after consuming the 28-year-old. Benavidez has a record as the youngest world champion in a super average in history, and Tyson has recently had an eye on an undefeated star.

When asked by Esnews Last year, as Benavidez fights with contemporary, Tyson supported the heavyweight master WBA and WBC to go out to all pretenders. “I like him against everything,” said Tyson. “He is so underestimated, but here so polarized. Listen, I was afraid to fight him if I was in this division. Nobody even has a chance against him and I say the facts. “

While Tyson clearly liked the star born in America against every opponent, Tyson may be necessary to wait longer for Benavidez to enter the current unified master of 168 pounds Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Although Benavidez was a mandatory claimant for Alvarez during the year, the clash never materialized. Since then, it was reported that Benavidez was tired of waiting for his chance for a 34-year icon.

Benavidez was promoted to massive weight and impressive victories against Oleksandr Gvozdyk and David Morrell in June and October last year, made him a mandatory contender for WBC and WBA for the undisputed master Dmitri Bivol.

It was reported that Benavidez was in advanced conversations to make Bivol fight, but the conversations apparently failed from the ground. However, if Bivol decides to trilogy with Artur Beterbav, Benavidez can try to fight Great Britain Callum Smith.

Since February 2025, Benavidez has been occupying the world title World Boxing Association (WBA) (ordinary version), and from 2024 it currently has a record of 30 wins and without losses, and 24 was approaching knockout.

Meanwhile, “iron” Mike will fall as one of the most arduous massive weight of all time. He won the WBC title at the age of only 20, when he defeated Trevor Berbick through Nokaut in the second round to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history – a record that still stands to this day.

However, his recent defeat with the YouTube star, Jake Paul, somewhat initiated calls for his concern. The Tyson’s fight was shown live in Netflix and became the most streaming sporting event in history because he fought with a man who is over 30 years younger than him. However, some stars of this sport shared their worries, because after once the undisputed world champion in heavyweight looked like the shadow of his former self.

Oleksandr Usyk makes the final decision of Daniel Dubois Rewangj as a huge fight “finalized”

Published

on

Oleksandr Uyk and Daniel Dubois can be set to an explosive rematch in July, and negotiations on the lucrative second fight are approaching the end. According to Ring magazineThe undisputed clash in weighty weight is planned for July 12 at the Wembley stadium.

Promoter Frank Warren admitted that discussions are underway regarding the unquestioned heavyweight struggle, although no details are finalized at that time. “There were conversations, but nothing has been done yet. Nothing at the moment. The conversation is ongoing and I hope it will come true,” said Warren Talksport. He acts as requested to the World Boxing Organization (WBO) at the beginning of April, applying for a permission to fight before he faces the momentary champion Joseph Parker.

WBO ordered Utyk to face the Parker in defense of his WBA, WBO and WBC titles, while the International Boxing Federation (IBF) requires Dubois to set his belt on the line against Derek Chisorie until April 22. But the first seems that he intends to go to the undisputed crown.

If the exemption is approved, this would eliminate the need to plan these two fights before Usyk-Dubois 2. Gustavo Olivieri, president of WBO, said Sky Sports: “A petition for the union of Usyk-Dubois in order to consolidate heavyweight championships is before the championship.

“Therefore, according to the official ruling in this case, we will publicly announce the official decision, including the mandatory status of Parker, if so.”

Two fighters recently collided in August 2023, when the Ukrainian provided victory over Dubois in Poland – maintaining an invincible run and holding the titles. However, this was not without disputes, because one of Dubois’s blows is questioned by the judge as a low blow.

Then Usyk triumphed over Tyson Fury to become the first undisputed world champion in Lennox Lewis in May last year.

However, due to the consent to the rematch from the Fury, he resigned from IBF – which Dubois, a former momentary owner, won during Downing Anthony Joshua.

With a flawless record of 23-0, Usyk will again be a favorite of a potential rematch. However, Dubois has only one other professional loss that was against Joe Joyce in 2020.

If he were to win, the 27-year-old would win the title of world champion in weighty weight. Although, as Usyk found out last year, it is easier to keep this nickname in the newfangled era.

For now, the WBO Championship Committee has not made a decision, leaving boxing enthusiasts impatiently waiting for confirmation of this expected heavyweight title.

Both men enjoyed success from the first meeting, and Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion with the victory over Tyson Fury, and Dubois himself collected the title of IBF, knocking over Anthony Joshua in five rounds in September.

The belt was only on the line that night, when Usyk was forced to leave his rematch with Tyson Fury, which means that he would undoubtedly feel that another fight against Dubois gives him the chance to regain what he thinks is rightly his and for the second time.
