Mike Tyson Promises “Knockout Experience” as He Announces New Cannas Product ‘Night Bites’

By

Mike Tyson retired from the sport, but he remains just as relevant. He has his own podcast named, ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,’ and the podcast lives up to its name. During the episodes, ‘Iron Mike,’ lights up his joint and hosts notable guests from all walks of life. Needless to say, the former two-time heavyweight champion is an advocate of canna**s through and through. The fact that he has been running multiple canna**s companies is a testament to the same. According to Sun, he earns around $620,000 a month from his canna**s business.

Amongst other things, Tyson catalyzes his influence and has several business-to-consumer ventures. One of his businesses is named, ‘Tyson 2.0’, which sells various forms of canna**s products. Intriguingly, his business has been quite lucrative for him. As per Market Watch, last year the company made over $160 Million in revenue, which is nothing to scoff at. However, Mike Tyson recently announced a new canna**s product ‘Night Bites’.

Iron Mike launched a new product under his ‘Mike Bites’ lineup, and the name of the product is, ‘Night Bite’. In a recent post on Instagram, the former heavyweight champ gives an inside peek into the production of Night Bite. The product is an edible canna**s product that assists in longer, deeper, and faster sleep. The caption of the post stated, “Night Bites coming soon to a store near you 🥊 Get ready for a knockout experience.”

The product is morphed into the shape of the ear, which is an homage to the infamous ear-biting incident in which Tyson bit Evander Holyfield‘s ear mid-fight. In the clip, while showcasing the product, Tyson said, “It is beautiful.” Safe to say that, Tyson loves to sell canna**s as much as he loves to consume it.

On his podcast, Tyson revealed that he spends an enormous amount of money on canna**s and, specifically, marijuana. While talking to his guest, former NFL player Eben Britton, he revealed, “What do we smoke a month? Is it $40,000 a month?” However, that amount is not a big thing for Iron Mike as he earns tenfold that from his canna**s businesses. According to the Sun, he alone earns around $620,000 a month from his businesses.

With the advent of his company, Tyson has found a new way to connect with the fans. Moreover, it would not be reasonable to say that it has proven to be reasonable for him. That being said, we are curious to know what you make of his canna**s business and its success of it.

“Get Don King on the Phone Now”: 3-Punch Knockout by a School Kid Results in Fans Branding Him “Mike Tyson”

By
mike tyson

In a quiet schoolyard, a scene unfolds that could rival a young Mike Tyson’s highlight reel. Yet, this isn’t a boxing ring. It’s a Twitter video titled “Quick Three Piece Combo For The Knock Down,” capturing an unsettling school fight. A student in a black hoodie channels Tyson’s ferocity, landing a precise three-punch combo. His opponent, clad in a white hoodie, stands unprepared, a stark contrast to the aggressor’s calculated strikes.

This is not your typical schoolyard scuffle. It’s a disturbing echo of professional boxing in a place of learning. While the technical prowess may momentarily captivate, it’s critical to remember that such acts of violence, especially in educational settings, are neither acceptable nor should they be glorified.

The video commences in a scholastic courtyard, initially swathed in peace— soon fractured by the arrival of a student in a black hoodie. He wasted no time to unleash the punches on the kid in a white hoodie.

What follows is a rapid, methodically executed three-punch combination. The aggressor’s first strike, a straight right hand, cuts through the air with precision. He follows up with a left, and then a decisive right hook. The force and accuracy of each punch are unnervingly skilled, more akin to a boxing prodigy than a high school student. The recipient, caught completely off guard, collapses to the ground. Fans were quick to compare the guy with Mike Tyson after he viciously knocked the other kid out.

The video, once posted, quickly garnered a wide range of reactions from viewers, each offering a unique perspective on the incident. One fan pointed out the evident skill in the execution of the punches but also noted that the recipient seemed unprepared and possibly unwilling to engage in a fight.

Together, these reactions form a mosaic of viewpoints. Ranging from admiration of physical skill to concerns about the implications of glorifying violence in playgrounds. They reflect the broader societal challenge of balancing the recognition of individual talents with the responsibility of fostering safe and respectful environments for young people.

Ryan Garcia’s Urgency for Gervonta Davis Rematch at 140 Might Not Play Out in His Favor As He Expects

By
gervonta davis

Ryan Garcia and his infatuation with Gervonta Davis seem boundless. The bad blood between them finally culminated in a clash in the square ring earlier this year. However, a brutal left-body shot left him flat on the canvas and handed him his first loss. ‘KingRy’ never made peace with the decision and is still fixated on a rematch, albeit at 140 pounds. While he feels his redemption lies with ‘Tank,’ the threat of a deep abyss also looms large.

The fans and pundits have hotly debated the stark contrast between the skills of the two arch-rivals when they met in the boxing ring. While they saw a slow-footed and weak Garcia, the Californian boxer blamed the dehydration clause. The apprehension of facing a similar outcome has ensured he never fights below 140 pounds.

Ryan Garcia has the skills to do it but has yet to do it in different weight categories. Despite him fighting in other weight classes, such as super featherweight earlier in his career, he has yet to prove his mantel in the 140-pound category. Meanwhile, Gervonta Davis has mastered the skill of being a force in three different categories.

Davis, at 29-0, has reigned supreme at super featherweight, regular lightweight, and now at light welterweight. The American boxer is immune to weight-cutting issues, and his knockout power has grown with him moving up. On the other hand, Garcia might have to sacrifice his speed for power, which might not be his ideal weapon to defeat Davis.

Despite this, Garcia is determined to prove his worth and his credentials as the next face of boxing. “You’re gonna see a whole different Ryan. A much more focused Ryan, a committed Ryan. A Ryan that you’ve only seen post-pandemic,” the 25-year-old declared vehemently.

Garcia is embarking on a journey that Davis completed some time ago. He has not lost sight of his future, but his obsession with a rematch at 140 or even 147 pounds is a shortsighted analysis of his loss. That solely stems from Golden Boy Promotions’ cash cow painting the blame on the rehydration clause.

The trouble of dehydration and Ryan Garcia’s 140-pound solution

Ryan Garcia ceded power during the negotiating process and accepted the fight at a catchweight of 136 pounds. He also bowed on a 10-pound rehydration clause. And to this day, Garcia regrets that decision.

You know, you can’t even do an interview. Can you do an interview? Dehydrated. No. Imagine boxing, you know what I mean? So for me, it’s like just level playing field. Just if you beat me, you beat me,” Garcia told FightHubTV.

What is his solution? Take the fight at 140 pounds. He firmly believes that, under different conditions, he could have slain Davis. While he banks his faith on his boxing prowess, his psychological needle is stuck.

Additionally, Garcia needs to gain experience in fighting and switching divisions. Meanwhile, Davis boasts a splendid resume and is confident, coupled with his years of experience switching between the divisions. What is an alien territory and what Garcia perceives as a level playing field is Davis’ dominant territory.

Can Ryan Garcia afford another loss to Gervonta Davis?

Assuming both go to war again and rack in $100 million in revenue, where does a loss leave Garcia and his career? The American boxer will be left stranded at the young age of 25 without hitting his prime. Davis will become the ceiling and death row of his boxing career.

However, if Garcia topples him, he will become the next big thing in the boxing world. But this outcome seems unlikely given the stark gap that fans witnessed in their fight. The wise thing for Garcia would be to build momentum, pick apart opponents, and then meet Davis in the middle of the ring. Before that, he runs a high risk of jeopardizing his boxing career.

Starstruck by His Presence, Peso Pluma Gets a Special Shout Out from Mike Tyson At Billboard Music Awards

By
mike tyson

At the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, Peso Pluma, already a champion in his own right, delivered an outstanding performance with his swaggy corrido “Rubicon.” The Mexican sensation, hailed as the biggest star in Mexican music today, at just 24 years old, graced the stage, or rather, a boxing ring, alongside none other than heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, whose robe boasted the bold declaration “the best ever.”

With cheers from his devoted superfans, Peso Pluma entered the ring and performed the track from his groundbreaking album Génesis. The performance not only featured Tyson but also incorporated the musical prowess of Peso Pluma’s seven-piece band. Not only this, Tyson presented the award to the artist and also posted the pictures with him on social media.
In a recent post on X, Mike Tyson gave a special shoutout to the Mexican pop star just before the airing of the Billboard Music Awards. Now, this was a surprise to a lot of fans as nobody expected this duo to meet up with each other and share photos. Besides the fans, even Peso Pluma felt that this was too surreal that Tyson would be joining him on the stage.
In an interview before his performance at BBMA, Pluma stated, “It’s amazing. It’s another dream come true. I’ve been watching him all my life and he is an inspiration and a motivation for me to keep going and to do whatever I like, you know?” He was quite excited to have ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ by his side.
Not only this, Tyson even presented the award to Pluma, which made the BBMA event even more memorable than ever. The audience at the ceremony were on their feet as Tyson honored the artistry of the young Mexican sensation.

Following his remarkable performance, Peso Pluma, whose real name is Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija, received the prestigious top Latin song award for his collaboration with Eslabon Armado on the global hit “Ella Baila Sola.” This track achieved a historic milestone earlier this year by becoming the first regional Mexican song to break into the top five on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart.

As he accepted the award, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson lauded Peso Pluma as the “people’s champion” before handing him the well-deserved recognition. In his acceptance speech, delivered in English, Peso expressed his gratitude, he said, “Thank you everyone. Thanks, Mr. Tyson, for being here. Thank you to all the fans, thank you for all the love and the support. And I’d like to thank the Billboard Awards for having me here. Thank you very much.”

The moment marked a significant acknowledgment of Peso Pluma’s impact on the Latin music scene and his groundbreaking achievement in reaching new heights on the mainstream music charts. Moreover, now he has the support of  ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ as well.

Regis Prograis’ Recent Photo from Training Camp Ahead of Devin Haney Fight Draws Scathing Response from Gervonta Davis

By
gervonta davis

Gervonta Davis never not holds back when it comes to making snarky comments about his potential rivals. This time it was Regis Prograis who was in his crosshairs. Currently, Prograis is preparing for a massive showdown against Devin Haney. The upcoming match on December 9 at the Chase Center in San Francisco is poised to be a significant event for WBC super welterweight champion Prograis, who is set to defend his title against Devin Haney. The bout is scheduled to be broadcast on DAZN PPV in North America.

So, before the fight, ‘Rougarou’ was seen flaunting his physical prowess, however, Davis did not shy away from nitpicking on his boxing prowess. Although Haney is the one moving up in the weight class, many people still consider Regis Prograis as the underdog since his opponent has been the undisputed lightweight champion. So much so, that even ‘Tank’ is making fun of Prograis publicly.
A few hours ago, Regis Prograis posted a picture right from his training camp, and maybe from a sparring session. Since he’s standing with his sparring gloves and headgear on, it can be speculated that either he has completed a sparring session or he’s going to indulge in one. So, he posted the picture on the X app, with the caption, “3 more weeks.”
Well, a boxing fan came across this picture, who is a supporter of Prograis, and wrote, “And still,” thus, indicating that he’d successfully defend his title against Haney. Well, Davis thought otherwise and he retweeted the fan’s post, and wrote in his now-deleted post, “AND STILL a flat footed b*stard.”
So, even though Davis has stated numerous times that he wants to take on Devin Haney and has animosity with him, the respect is still there between the fighters. Well, this is not a new thing as Davis sometimes trolls one fighter and as a result, supports another. Not long ago, he took a verbal jab at Devin Haney, and as a result, defended yet another rival Shakur Stevenson.

The recent fight between Shakur Stevenson and Edwin De Los Santos turned out to be a disappointment for a lot of boxing fans. It was a lackluster display that left the audience dissatisfied. Both fighters failed to impress, eliciting disapproving boos from the crowd in the later rounds. The lack of engagement was particularly evident in the performance of De Los Santos, who managed to land a mere 40 punches throughout the entire 12 rounds, as reported by the official Compubox statistics.

This notably low punch count set a new record, marking the fewest number of punches recorded in a 12-round fight since the introduction of the Compubox system 38 years ago. So, Devin Haney had offered Stevenson a 75-25 offer, before the De Los Santos fight. Then Haney stated, “Should’ve offered this Bum 10% I was being too generous!” Well after this, Davis instantly took a jab at Haney and came to Stevenson’s defense.

Floyd Mayweather Predicts His “Prince” Grandson to One Day Become the “King”

By
floyd mayweather

Floyd Mayweather is widely considered the king of defensive play inside the square ring. However, the legendary boxer has retired from the sport, leaving fans and pundits alike wondering who will replace him. While few names are vying for the spot, ‘Money’ Mayweather himself self has named his successor.

Over the years, Mayweather has been in a plethora of battles against the mightiest of foes. The king of the ring has taken down boxing giants like Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, and Canelo Alvarez. However, in recent times, ‘Money’ has been acting as a mentor and, more importantly, a proud grandfather to his grandson Kentrell Gaulden Jr. In a surprising turn of events, Floyd claimed his “prince” grandson would grow up to become a “king.”

Turning to Instagram, the undefeated champion shared a picture of his grandson Kentrell Gaulden Jr. Alongside the wholesome picture of grandfather and grandson, Mayweather wrote a message that left fans in awe. “This prince one day will become the KING,” wrote the former world champion.

On a similar note, this isn’t the first time Mayweather’s grandson made the headlines. The duo has been spotted together on social media and boxing events. KJ is the son of Mayweather’s eldest daughter, Iyanna Mayweather. Recently, an adorable clip of KJ was shared on YouTube that had fans asking for more.

Despite retiring from the sport, Floyd has decided to take up the gloves yet again to face John Gotti III. The pair first met in the ring earlier this year. While that fight ended in chaos, Mayweather is ready for a second go at Gotti III. For the same reason, Floyd was recently seen in the gym training for the fight alongside grandson KJ.

However, what caught everyone by surprise was KJ’s presence in the ring. Seeing grandfather’s lightning-fast moves, a hyped-up KJ tried to mirror them, leaving everyone in a state of awe. With the clip surfacing on the internet, many in the boxing community have celebrated the continued tradition of boxing in the family.

It might take a while for Floyd’s prediction to become a reality, but the prediction itself is a testament to Mayweather’s unwavering confidence and love for his grandson.

By
gervonta davis

It has been nearly seven months since Gervonta Davis fought Ryan Garcia with his WBA Lightweight title on the line. Following this bout, as Davis continued to remain a threat in the Lightweight division, Garcia hurriedly moved up to 140 lbs. With Garcia defeated and gone, and the likes of Rolando Romero, Isaac Cruz, and Mario Barrios beaten, it is time that Gervonta “Tank” Davis faces the likes of Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney.

However, Team Davis has yet to confirm their next fight. But while fans eagerly await Gervonta’s next opponent, the 29-year-old keeps his fans entertained with his messages and photos of hardcore training.
Despite the success he has received inside the ring, fellow boxers have often slammed Gervonta Davis. In the near past, the former Undisputed Lightweight champion Devin Haney claimed that Tank deliberately avoided competitors who could actually put him in a fix. On the other hand, Teofimo Lopez, following his bout against Josh Taylor, while speaking about a potential fight with Davis, insulted him by calling him a “p***y” and a “b**ch.”
In this connection, Tank, who is arguably one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, recently took a jab at his critics. His detractors include the likes of Lopez and Haney. Taking to Instagram, the WBA Lightweight title holder shared a message that read, “Your biggest critics will eventually copy your moves.”
In another post, he alluded to the lyrics of “Project Walls” by Lil Tjay and NBA YoungBoy. “Fake s**t tear me down, all the way to my core,” read the screenshot shared by Davis. While Davis replied to his critics with a witty message, let us take a look at the opponents he could potentially fight next in boxing.

Naoya Inoue, Shakur Stevenson, Isaac Cruz, Teofimo Lopez, and Devin Haney: Boxers ‘Tank’ may face next

Naoya Inoue, the current Unified Super Bantamweight champion expressed his desire to climb up to 135 lbs for a fight with Tank. On the other hand, the head of Manny Pacquiao Promotions, Sean Gibbons revealed that there was a chance Isaac Cruz would face Davis in a rematch in 2024. In addition, now that Shakur Stevenson has become the WBC Lightweight champion, it is likely that Davis and Stevenson will share the ring.

Meanwhile, Team Teofimo Lopez and Team Davis recently confirmed that the two boxers could face one another soon. Finally, there is a great chance that Davis and Haney would fight. With so many options available for Davis, fans cannot help but get excited. Hopefully, Davis would also reveal who he is preparing for.

“Who Da Fk I Was”: Terence Crawford Opens Up About Existential Crisis in Cryptic Post

By
terence crawford

Terence Crawford, celebrated pugilist and multi-weight world champion, recently bared his soul in a cryptic post, shedding light on an existential crisis that gripped him. The boxing superstar, known for his unparalleled skill in the ring, took to social media to share a snippet of his personal struggle.

Many of Bud’s fans and followers woke up to a very startling and cryptic message on his Instagram stories. He wrote, declaring “I had to wake up and realize who da f*ck I was. I was sleep for some years.”

Further elaborating on his statement, Crawford pondered about the path he had gone through and recognized that it was his mother’s negativity that pushed him upwards. Crawford himself has noted that although many things have changed, his unchanged state of being angry has remained with him and powered his success in boxing at large.

Crawford’s skill and flexibility as well as his reputation is evident in the ring. However, this revelation has offered a rare insight into his vulnerabilities, which professional boxing often lacks. This turbulent journey propelled him to become one of the best boxers right now.

The story of how Terrence Crawford, from an arduous upbringing in Omaha, grew to be referred to as “the best boxer in the world”, is an angry one. More so, his great success in the ring combined with his checkered past involving gangs and episodes of violence at an early age.

Bud was once shot in the head

The adversities of Crawford’s childhood occurred in a violent neighborhood where he grew up. He spoke openly during an interview about his childhood experiences. He experienced endless fights with his mother, emotional as well as physical. Further, he explained how it was hard living in an environment that had normalized fighting and violence. After boxing began as a survival measure, he encountered various gangs until the birth of his professional boxing journey.

A near-death experience in 2008, when someone shot him in the head, changed Crawford’s story. Added layers of traumatic experiences then included witnessing his uncle’s death as well as the difficulties his aunt had faced after being attacked. Uncle and promoter Bob Arum were among the important people who helped redirect his focus and will back into boxing. Despite the absence of positive reinforcement, Crawford’s determination to be a present and supportive father to his children shows his commitment to breaking the cycle.

Terence Crawford’s narrative is not just a tale of sporting triumphs; it’s a testament to the spirit that can emerge from mental health struggles. In the ring, he found an outlet for his anger. Additionally, also a path to redemption, showcasing that the fight against inner demons can lead to extraordinary victories.

Floyd Mayweather is known for his lightning-fast jabs and unparalleled skills inside the ring. The 50-0 boxer often finds his way into headlines for one reason and the other. In a similar twist of fate, ‘Money’ Mayweather is back, stunning the world with his words. However, this time, things are out of the ordinary! The former world champion is out asking his followers a favor for none other than his beloved son, Koraun Mayweather.

Backed by his enormous bank account, the boxer has never shied away from his extravagant lifestyle and his love for jewelry. However, what ‘Money’ asked his followers to do isn’t something money can buy. Forget the traditional cake and candles routine–Mayweather is stepping up the style of gifting. Mayweather recently turned to Instagram with an unexpected request that many would consider a generous gift.
The former undefeated boxer took to his Instagram story with a picture of his son, Koraun. Besides the picture, Mayweather urged his followers to follow his son on social media and wish him a happy birthday. The 46-year-old wrote, “Everyone follow and wish my son a happy birthday!” This was a masterstroke from the champion, as in today’s world of glitz and glamor, a massive social media following has the power to catapult people into unparalleled success.
The son of Floyd Mayweather and late actress Josie Harris, Koraun is deeply invested in music. He did not pursue his father’s profession and looks to make a lasting impact in the world of music. Koraun recently released his latest single, “Never Broke Again.” Thus, Mayweather decided to use his massive social media following to catapult his son’s music career.

Floyd Mayweather might have retired from the sport, but it looks like the next generation might follow his footsteps into the ring. The retired boxing legend was seen having a special moment with his grandchild, Kentrell Jr. KJ is the son of Mayweather’s eldest daughter, Iyanna ‘Yaya’ Mayweather, and rapper NBA YoungBoy.

In an old clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Michael Benson, Mayweather can be seen teaching KJ a few things about boxing. Meanwhile, seeing his champion grandfather, KJ got excited as he ran inside the ring with massive gloves on. What’s more, in recent times, Mayweather has been spotted with his grandson on multiple occasions, displaying his fondness for the kid.

“He Got Away With the First One”: Commentator Uses Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, and Roy Jones Jr. As Examples to Reveal Only Condition for Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence Jr. Rematch to Make Sense

By
terence crawford

Less than two months after the defeat to Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr. activated the rematch clause in September to fight ‘Bud’ at 154 lbs. According to ‘The Truth,’ his timing was off at 147 lbs where the duo fought in July. In this connection, given Spence Jr. believed he would feel physically better at junior Middleweight, he insisted the rematch took place at 154 lbs.

Later, supporting Spence Jr.’s statement, among others, Deontay Wilder claimed he found ‘The Truth’ a little drained of which ‘Bud’ took advantage. In short, a certain section embraced the view that Specne Jr. was not at his physical best on July 29th. On that note, ShowBizz the Adult, known for his commentaries on boxing, explained how Spence Jr. vs. Crawford must be assessed.

In simple terms what ShowBizz the Adult means is that often professional boxers, who are wage labourers, step inside the ring despite unhealed injuries given the obligations and responsibilities they have. As a result, despite being skilful and impressively athletic, there are times when they are outshone and dominated by their opponents in the ring. “Let me know why that performance was the worst shit I’ve ever seen,” started ShowBizz the Adult.

“Floyd [Mayweather] said he had a torn rotator cuff against [Jose Luis] Castillo. The second fight he was healthier and he definitely won the second one. I think he got away with the first one,” he continued. In this context, he also referred to Manny Pacquiao facing ‘TBE’ with a “hurt shoulder” in 2015. Additionally, he mentioned how Roy Jones Jr. even declined after cutting “25lbs of muscles.”

In this connection, ShowBizz argued that if Spence Jr. was not at his physical best during the Crawford fight, how he lost was somewhat justified. However, if one must believe that ‘The Truth’ fought Crawford at his best, the rematch should not happen.

In ShowBizz’s opinion, while fans criticize the boxers’ performances, one must understand the physical condition in which they often entered the ring. Likewise, the commentator added, “If the guy was fighting with one hand, then, ok. That’s how we assess it. That’s what I’m doing with Errol Spence.”
