Mike Tyson wants to become champion in a YouTube boxing tournament he plans to launch in the future.
The boxing legend has not fought in the ring since a hugely successful exhibition meeting with fellow veteran Roy Jones Jr two years ago. Tyson has continued to stay in shape and has frequently expressed his interest in the fast-emerging YouTube boxing scene including high-profile siblings Logan and Jake Paul.
Tyson has now claimed he would be willing to fight against a series of YouTubers in a championship format to determine the king of the content creator scene. "There is a possibility I might try and become the YouTube champion," Tyson replied when asked about fighting other YouTube stars on the Jimmy Kimmel show. "I am going to create a YouTube championship with all these YouTubers and perhaps myself and we will all fight each other."
