Mike Tyson has just been sponsored by Call of Duty: Warzone and he used the same to promote his upcoming fight against Jake Paul in Texas. Well, on the 20th of July, in an exhibition match, Mike Tyson is returning to the ring after his last fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. On that note, besides training with his heart, the former Heavyweight champion of the world is doing everything he possibly can to keep the boxing world interested in Paul vs. Tyson.

Frequently, ‘Kid Dynamite’ takes to Instagram and uploads brief clips which display his speed and power even at the age of 57. Likewise, Tyson often takes the boxing world by surprise when he throws commendable combinations on the mitts demonstrating passion and ferocity. Similarly, after being sponsored by Call of Duty: Warzone, Tyson uploaded a video of himself where his movements were interestingly mimicked by a character from the popular game.

While it is yet to be clear whether or not the character is inspired by Mike Tyson, it certainly fought like the ‘Kid Dynamite’. For starters, it ran like Mike Tyson did. Then, it imitated Tyson’s famous three-punch combo which starts with the body before hammering the head. The character also demonstrated a jaw-dropping suplex in the game. Finally, it swung heavily to demonstrate its ability to knock out opponents.

While video games always fascinated Mike Tyson, developers have also shown interest in ‘Iron’ Mike. Likewise, Tyson was seen in games like Punch-Out, Fight Night, UFC, Mike Tyson Boxing, and Mike Tyson Heavyweight. Later, in 2019, out of his love for Esports, Tyson invested in a professional esports team named Fade 2 Karma. Anyway, after Tyson’s deal with COD, a fan said, “Mike will play COD without any weapon and still manage to win.” In other words, they relied heavily on Tyson’s boxing skills.

On the other hand, one wrote, “We done got mike tyson in cod.” Similarly, one said, “Mike Tyson as a warzone operator would go hard.

Meanwhile, a fan said, “I want to see iron Mike in Mortal Kombat.” For those, who don’t know Mortal Kombat is a video game initially launched in 1992.
