Kimbo Slice To Fight Mike Tyson?

Question

Unbeaten Mixed Martial Arts fighter Kimbo Slice is set to become a professional Heavyweight Boxer and his first fight will be a money spinning bout held in Las Vegas against Mike Tyson.

The fight is scheduled for July and venues mentioned include Cesar's Palace and the MGM Grand. Both fighters are estimated to earn over $10,000,000 each for the fight and the winner is then likely to fight British Heavyweight hopeful David Haye in a World Title eliminator.

Slice, 33, who has recently signed an advertising deal with 'Bimbo Bakeries' to promote it's sliced bread range says he is looking forward to fighting Tyson. The well spoken Slice told me "One always strives to improve ones fortune. The pugilistic art has always held immense interest for me. For one to partake of fisticuffs against Mr Tyson has been and endeavor I have yearned to achieve. The fiscal rewards are also immense.

Answer 1

Do you have any evidence of this...Where did you get it from? So stupid srsly. If they did fight Tyson would kill him.

Answer 2

Interesting I never heard nothing about this where did you watch or hear this? Kimbo only had what 2 fights in MMA and he is already moving to boxing? Sounds pretty cool but i dont believe this is gonna happen but would be nice.

Answer 3

I don't mean to be critical of Kimbo, but I can promise you he has no business fighting an established fighter, even one on the decline such as Mike Tyson.  He signed a contract with Elite XC b/c it was beneficial for both parties, but I do not think anyone who really studies fighting thinks Kimbo has much of a shot to contend with anyone, but more likely just in it to make some money, and thats fine.  Don't forget, he lost 3 times in one match to a street cop named Sean Gannon, who got destroyed in the only MMA fight that I have since him get into.

Answer 4

This is funny

Answer 5

Tyson is a professional boxer while Kimbo is a street fighter and just started fighting with MMA.

Even though I like Kimbo, I don't think he has a chance with Mike Tyson.

Answer 6

best laugh ive had all week, how gullable are some people that they actually believe this.
