Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, believes he could defeat Conor McGregor in a boxing match. However, he is wary of facing McGregor in the Octagon, the venue for UFC fights, as it presents a different challenge altogether, which Tyson is hesitant to take on.
On “The Dan Patrick Show,” Tyson, who is 54 years old, was questioned about the possibility of a mixed martial arts fight against McGregor. He expressed reluctance, suggesting that the outcome would likely result in him surrendering. Tyson humorously mentioned that he would tap out not because he fears McGregor overpowering him, but due to McGregor’s ability to step on his feet during the fight.
In a lighthearted manner, Tyson shared that the thought of McGregor stepping on his feet is a significant concern for him. He humorously emphasized that if anyone were to step on his feet, he would promptly tap out from the fight. Furthermore, Tyson added that if such an incident were to occur outside the fighting arena, involving physical contact, it would necessitate the intervention of law enforcement and legal actions to resolve the matter.
