Other than boxing, another sport that Mike Tyson lives for is tennis. The reason why he developed an interest in this sport is his daughter, Milan Tyson, who aspires to be a tennis player once she grows up. The former boxing champ is a regular spectator at the US Open in New York. He even flew to Paris to attend this year’s French Open.
Recently, a picture highlighted Tyson’s admiration for the game and gave the world something new to look forward to. During his recent visit to California, the boxer shared a moment with Nick Kyrgios, which was caught on camera. The latter’s caption is what has given fans reason to think something exciting is in the making.

Mike Tyson showed up at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) held in California, where he stumbled upon the tennis star, Nick Kyrgios and clicked a picture with him. The photo was posted by Kyrgios on his social media, where he wrote the caption, “Perfect chaos… something big coming….”
Now it’s still not revealed what exactly “something big” is, but it may very well be related to tennis. As Tyson always loves to expand his business, especially in his preferred niches, fans are wondering whether this has to do with a new venture.

Recently, the boxer launched his Tyson Pro gloves, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s planning to launch some tennis equipment.
Kyrgios, on the other hand, is suffering from an injury, because of which he had to back down from Wimbledon. But he still remained close to the court by coaching Frances Tiafoe. A potential collaboration with Tyson at such a crucial time could be great for him.
Fans were happy to see Mike Tyson and Nick Kyrgios together
The fans were intrigued to see Mike Tyson smoking as he posed alongside Nick Kyrgios. Boxing reporter, Michael Benson, also shared this picture on his Twitter, where fans took to the comments section.
One of the fans, Ab7, stated that the picture would have become more amazing if Tyson had done a tennis serve pose.

One fan, Chris Houry, asked a question about who among these two sportsmen is going to end up in a showdown against Tyson Fury next. Well, this snarky comment was in reference to Tyson Fury‘s struggle to find a new opponent for his 2023 bout before he announced the Francis Ngannou fight.
Which one is Fury planning on fighting next?
