The boxing world has not yet calmed down after the shocking announcement of the legendary Mike Tyson that he will step into the ring to face the “Undefeated” Floyd Mayweather, when another event exploded. The professional wrestler and Hollywood superstar – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – suddenly appeared and officially challenged Tyson directly, along with a statement that shocked millions of people: “I will definitely win because he has…”
Tyson – Mayweather: The super classic match has caused a storm before it even happened
Mike Tyson, at the age of over 50, is still considered one of the most fearsome heavyweight boxers in history. Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather is famous for his undefeated record and masterful defensive style. The news that these two legends will face each other is enough to shake the global media, and audiences are willing to pay to watch.
But just a few hours later, The Rock – who is not a professional boxer – jumped into the story, challenging Mike Tyson himself. This was a detail that surprised everyone.
The Rock: “I will definitely win”
In a short live stream, The Rock said with confidence: “I respect Tyson, but I am not afraid of him. I will definitely win because he is past his prime. His strength and speed are not what they used to be, while I am still training every day. I am not afraid to step into the ring to prove it.”
This statement immediately went viral at a dizzying speed. Many people think that The Rock is “shocking” to attract attention, but many fans also believe that his strength and physique can completely make it difficult for Tyson.
Fans are divided
On social networks, tens of thousands of comments appeared in just a few hours.
One side supports Tyson: “The Rock has real muscles, but boxing is not only about strength, but also about technique, speed and bravery. Tyson will crush him.”
But the other side stands by The Rock: “Don’t underestimate him. The Rock is a symbol of strength and steel spirit. If there is a match, I believe he will surprise Tyson.”
The possibility of it coming true?
Although The Rock’s challenge has caused a public outcry, experts are cautious. First, Tyson has confirmed that his official opponent is Floyd Mayweather, a match that is called the “blockbuster of the century”. Second, The Rock is a WWE wrestler and action actor, and has never competed in professional boxing.
However, many people believe that, with the global appeal of all three names: Tyson – Mayweather – The Rock, staging a combined entertainment – sports event is completely possible. And if that comes true, it will not only be a match, but also an “earthquake” in the entertainment industry.
A dramatic future
Currently, Mike Tyson has not responded to The Rock’s bold statement. Mayweather has also remained silent, perhaps because he wants to focus on the announced match. Meanwhile, The Rock continues to “hint” on his personal page, making fans even more excited.
Is this just a media trick to heat up the Tyson – Mayweather event, or is it really a serious challenge from The Rock? The answer will probably be revealed soon. But one thing is for sure: with just a few words of his, The Rock has turned an already hot boxing event into the most hotly discussed topic on the planet.
