Mike Tyson thinks Dana White’s move into boxing is the ‘Best thing’ for the sport

Off the back of a massive weekend for professional boxing, former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson has claimed UFC CEO, Dana White’s expected venture into the sport is the “best thing” for the sport right now.

Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight champion — saw a massive upset land in his former division earlier this month, with former two-time world heavyweight titleholder, Anthony Joshua suffering a blistering fifth round knockout loss against Daniel Dubois.

And slated to make his own scrutinized return to the ring before the end of the year in Arlington, Texas, former world heavyweight kingpin, Tyson is rescheduled to take on polarizing puncher, Jake Paul in November — snapping a lengthy retirement from the squared circle dating back to 2005.
