As the two most recognizable champions in boxing, Tyson and Mayweather have always been the focus of media attention. Now, these two boxing champions have openly sung the opposite tune! I don't know if it is to promote the match on July 20, Tyson chose to be tough with Mayweather in an interview with the media, and publicly refuted Mayweather's views, which attracted the attention of many fans. Back in late 2020, Mayweather said that boxing needed to be cleaned up because there were so many champions that every time you win a belt, you need to pay a recognition fee. A few days ago, Tyson publicly refuted Mayweather's remarks.
Tyson faced the camera and directly stiffened Mayweather: I don't agree with Mayweather's point that boxing will never have too many belts, because every time there is a championship fight, the fighter can make more money, and the belt is never enough. Let's say you have a champion and 10 challengers, how long does it take to finish them? It's a good thing to have 3 championships, because every time you compete, everyone can make money, that's what this industry is all about, it's money! As soon as Tyson's words came out, many people speculated that the relationship between the two was not good.
In fact, this isn't the first time Tyson has refuted Mayweather. Back in 2015, Mayweather publicly declared that he was the greatest fighter of all time, surpassing even boxing champion Ali. In response to Mayweather's remarks, Tyson directly stood up to refute it: he was very delusional, listening to the fact that if he was close to the greatness of Muhammad Ali, he would be able to send his children to school by himself. He can't send his children to school on his own, but he's talking about how great he is? Greatness is not about protecting himself from people, it's about being accepted. He can't send his children to school alone, he's a coward.
