Mike Tyson Shows Up as Guest Panelist for Tekken 8 Comicon, Discusses the Fate of Tyson Fury, Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford

From the sport of boxing to the world of video games and pop culture, Mike Tyson was a guest panelist to promote the video game, “Tekken 8, “at a Comic-Con convention. The video game is yet to be released, but it can be safely said that the genre of the game is combat orientated. And there may be no better way to promote this game than by having ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ endorse it.

Cris Cyborg, MMA fighter and former UFC champion was another combatant to join him in the panel. Prior to the event, Tyson and Cyborg were discussing the upcoming notable boxing bouts. In a series of quick predictions, Tyson determines the fate of Tyson Fury, Canelo Alvarez, and Terence Crawford.

Mike Tyson makes his prediction known for the upcoming super-bouts

The sport of boxing has many nail-biting contests lined up for the fans. Just over a week from now, Terence Crawford will face Errol Spence Jr. after years of anticipation. The boxing world has mixed reactions to this competitive bout. However, Tyson happens to favor Crawford.

In an interview, with elieseckbach, Tyson found himself in agreement with Cyborg and stated, “I say Crawford too.” Though he adds, “I am going to be happy either way”

 However, that was not the only fight he predicted. In September, Jermell Charlo, the undisputed light middleweight champion will move up in weight class to face the current undisputed super-middleweight champion: Canelo Alvarez. 

Tyson fancied Alvarez and stated, “I think Canelo should be able to beat him. But Canelo is not moving his head that another guy was hitting him and that’s what gave the other guy confidence to hit Canelo.”

And lastly, Tyson weighed in on the cross-sport bout between Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngnnaou. Despite the general consensus in the boxing world, Tyson does not disregard the chances of Ngnnaou landing a knockout punch to secure the victory. He stated, “Yea I think anything is possible. He has a hard punch.”

 Considering Ngannou’s next fight would be in the ring, the former heavyweight champion was asked if he would want to train him for the Fury fight. Tyson welcomed the same and stated, “Yea I would like to do that. That would be cool. I like that, yea.”
