Mike Tyson
is ready to make his fighting comeback!
although it won't be inside a boxing
ring this time
tyson is set to fight a great white
shark genuinely
this extraordinary matchup pits the
baddest man on the planet
against one of the most ferocious
predators from the ocean
the former heavyweight champion of the
world has accepted the challenge
as part of discovery channel's tyson vs
jaws rumble on the reef
and the 54 year old will take part in
the underwater stunt
on august 9th in the name of scientific
research
while there will be some familiarity to
tyson's famous knights in the ring as
legendary announcer michael buffer will
take part in the event
a discovery statement said with famed
ring announcer michael buffer calling
the shots
these two heavyweights will square off
underwater
where mike tyson will try to score a tko
over the massive shark
all in the name of research tyson is
thought to be motivated by conquering a
fear of making a comeback
having been linked in recent months with
a money spinning return against the
wbc world heavyweight champion tyson
fury
i equate this with overcoming my fear of
getting back into the ring at 54 years
old tyson explained
i learned from this experience doing
shark week that whatever intimidates me
i'm still able to step up to the
challenge of overcoming anything
that would prevent me from accomplishing
my life's mission of
reaching my highest potential in life
and bringing me closer to god
having been one of the most intimidating
fighters in history in his heyday
tyson's concerns about making a comeback
are understandable
he's not fought since 2005 and appeared
a shadow of his former self in his final
years
losing three of his last four contests
whether he has much left to offer
remains debatable
and we're unlikely to find out too much
about his current fighting credentials
in his upcoming bout
it was a channel aesthetics legacy
