What Does Tyson Bring to the Broadcast?
Tyson, 58, is a boxing superstar with 50 wins, 6 losses, and 44 knockouts. He was the heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. His last pro fight was in 2005, but he boxed Jake Paul in November 2024 on Netflix, losing by decision. Tyson’s big experience and bold voice make him perfect to explain the Garcia-Romero fight, especially since he called Romero a “hard-hitting” fighter.
Garcia, 26, has won 24 fights with 20 knockouts and lost 1. His last fight, a win over Haney in April 2024, didn’t count because he tested positive for a banned substance, and he was allowed to fight again on April 23 2025.
Romero, 29, has won 16 fights with 13 knockouts and lost 2, coming off a win against Manuel Jaimes in September 2024.
The other fights are awesome too. Haney, who won 31 fights with 15 knockouts, faces Ramirez, who won 29 fights with 18 knockouts. Lopez, with 21 wins and 1 loss with 13 knockouts, defends his WBO 140-pound title against Barboza, who won 32 fights with 11 knockouts. There’s also a small fight with Reito Tsutsumi, in his first pro match, against Levale Whittington, who has 1 win, 2 losses, and 1 draw. Oscar De La Hoya says Garcia will knock out Romero early.
With Tyson talking and Turki Alalshikh putting on the event, this night is a big deal, per Yahoo Sports.
