Despite his sordid history with promoters, Tyson is excited about the new endeavor. “Believe me,” he laughed, “the last thing I ever thought I’d be doing would be returning to boxing as a promoter. But these two great businessmen approached me and I loved their ideas. I’m going to be very hands-on, personally checking on the conditioning and style of all our fighters.”
Tyson, who clearly loves talking about the nitty-gritty of boxing, also revealed ambitions beyond simply promoting professional bouts. “I want to put together an amateur team that competes with teams from other countries,” he said. “I even want to work with kids who are just starting out and haven’t even had their first bout.”
