“Tyson singled out Roberto Duran”, — write: sport.ua
Former world champion Mike Tyson named the legendary boxer he wanted to be like. Tyson singled out the ex-champion of the world in four weight categories, Roberto Duran, who won more than 100 fights in the professional ring.
“Duran was angry, cruel and very popular. Even though he was a bad guy, people still loved him and I wanted to be like him – a bad guy that people loved.
He’s a comedian, but he’s a lovely guy. He looks like me, but we’re two completely different guys in and out of the ring,” Tyson said.
Previously, the legendary American boxer Mike Tyson named the only heavyweight who hit harder than him. Tyson noted the strength of George Foreman, with whom he had never fought.
