Anthony Joshua, the world boxing champion, admitted that when the American was in his prime, there was no way he could beat Mike Tyson.
Last Saturday, almost six months after his loss at Madison Square Garden, Joshua regained his WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO belts from Andy Ruiz in Saudi Arabia.
During his professional career, his loss to Ruiz was his first. But if he was still fighting, the Briton thinks he'd be losing to Tyson.
“Mike Tyson would have battered me!
“There was no way I could have taken on that guy. I would have taken that pay cheque. You know what I did against Klitschko in that 6th round when I took that dive? I’m joking.
“I would have taken a dive against Tyson. He was a beast. I give all credit and respect to Tyson. Even though Tyson is going on like 50 now, I still remember Tyson as the young, young 21-year-old.
“He was that good and made such an impact in the sport of boxing,” he said according to SportingLife.
