“Serena Was Getting Tired at the End. Tyson Can Boost Her Energy by Sticking a Pic of Sharapova…”: Tennis Fans Had a Field Day When Legend Serena Williams Trained Boxing With Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is no stranger to identifying good boxers. As he was one of the best boxers ever, becoming the youngest heavyweight champion ever at the age of just 20. A record that stands to this day.

However, it looked like Iron Mike once identified some boxing talent in tennis icon Serena Williams. In 2019, Williams laced the gloves herself and did a workout with the former heavyweight champion. In a video Tyson can be seen coaching the 23-time Grand Slam winner, teaching her how to throw a jab and cross. Moreover, he even held the bag himself while Williams unloaded a barrage of punches on the bag in a single go.

This was not all, as fans of both boxing and tennis got together and had a field day with the legends.

Fans react to Mike Tyson coaching Serena Williams

One fan hilariously pointed out the power Williams possessed and stated that she swings the racquet with the same power.”What’s funny is she swings like she has a racquet in her hand!” He wrote. Another fan raised an interesting question of why Williams was in her tennis attire while boxing. ” Why is she boxing in her tennis outfit though??” he wrote.

One fan made it personal by bringing up Williams’ rivalry against Sharapova. He stated that Tyson could motivate Williams just by putting a picture of Sharapova on the bag. “Serena was getting tired at the end. Tyson can boost her energy by sticking a pic of Sharapova…” He wrote.

Lastly, one fan took shots at Williams, bringing up her unpleasant relationships with umpires. Williams famously clashed with tennis umpire Carlos Ramos in the women’s final of the 2018 United States Open. “Serena will be knocking out the chair umpire for any bad calls during the 2020 season.” he wrote.

It looks like we have seen the end of one of the most iconic careers in tennis after Williams’ heartbreaking loss in the 2022 US Open. The 40-year-old Williams lost to Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic in a thrilling encounter.

Willams stated that this would be her last tournament and if that is the case, this will end a 27-year professional career in which she brought home 23 grand slam titles. This is the reason many regard her as the greatest of all time.
