Several fans shared the same notion, and they couldn’t sustain themselves from tweeting.
If this isn’t a set up for an exhibition, There is no way Chael will call Tyson a drug addict to his face. Tough twitter guys are laughable…

Will Mike Tyson himself react to this pertaining matter?
Tyson never really comes out to post flamboyant comments on his rivals or people who try to put him down.
He simply ignores his critics and carries out his life the way he wants to. That said, the fans might not get to see ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ give his take on Sonnen’s comments.
