Because it was Marvis Frazier who was uh the son of the great Joe Frazier former World Heavyweight Champion and Marvis Frazier was his son and his son was fighting Mike Tyson in his prime.”
As Rogan continued, he gave details about the fight, “It was on ABC Wide World of Sports, I think what year was this yeah this had to be like 86 or something like that 87.
