Hall of Famers Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather are set to meet in the ring next year and previous comments from the former heavyweight champion may lead to a bit of needle in the exhibition bout.
The two Americans who dominated separate eras and weight divisions will come face-to-face in a non-competitive contest arranged by CSI Sports, although exact details are currently scarce.
Back in the build up to Mayweather-Pacquiao in 2015, Tyson was asked about Mayweather's comments that he was a better fighter than Muhammad Ali.
‘Iron Mike’ immediately shut down the comparison, telling UK RBG TV: “He’s very delusional. If he was anywhere near that realm of the great Ali, he’d be able to take his kids to school.
"He can't take his kids to school by himself, and he's talking about he's great? Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, greatness is being accepted by the people.”
