Boxing Legend Mike Tyson Challenged by Rapper Wale: ‘Let’s Fight’

Not everyone dares to call out Mike Tyson for a fight. Even though the legend has turned 55, he still dons a near-perfect physique. Furthermore, he looked extremely impressive in his last in-ring appearance against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. That said, Tyson’s scary punches from the later ’90s continue to terrorize many people to this day.

However, the American rapper Wale expressed his interest in fighting ‘Iron’ Mike. Initially, he hesitated to express the desire, but ultimately ended up having a hilarious verbal banter with Tyson.

36-year-old Wale was the latest guest in Mike Tyson’s HotBoxin podcast. On the show, while Wale conveyed all his respect for the former world heavyweight champion, a part of him wanted to have a piece of Tyson.

Talking about it, Wale said, “You are fair, but sometimes you be too. No damn, I am not gonna say that to Mike Tyson.”

“No we are gonna a fight.”

“Fu** you, lets fight.”

Fortunately, it was light-hearted. Hence, Mike Tyson, Wale, and co-host Henry Cejudo cheered the entire interaction, which brought up some uncanny sides of the rapper. While this may have been banter, several potential fights can continue to urge Mike Tyson to return to the boxing ring.
