One of the most iconic moments of the evening of the Mike Tyson – Roy Jones Jr came in the match between the NBA star Nate Robinson and the YouTuber Jake Paul, whose brother Logan will face Mayweather next (February 20, 2021). Paul proved himself up to the challenge and won the fight with a spectacular KO of Robinson. However, the image of the former NBA biting the canvas has not prevented other stars from the best basketball league on the planet from volunteering for Tyson’s next evening, yet to be confirmed.
Nick Young Y Gilbert Arenas they were the first to sound. Young, whose most prominent years as a player were with the Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Lakers, left the possibility open on his Twitter. “Me against Gil in the undercard,” offered the former player referring to his former teammate, the controversial Gilbert Arenas.
Later, the former rapper Iggy Azalea shared a video in which Gilbert Arenas makes fun of Nate Robinson’s performance, further heating up the possibility of a match between the two. An idea not so remote, because the official website of Legends Only League, as Mike Tyson has called his events, picked up the news.
A format in question
The ‘legends’ (rather ‘celebrities’) matches enacted by Tyson have their detractors. Among them, numerous personalities from the world of boxing who see a lost opportunity to give visibility to active fighters who are not so well known and who find it difficult to live off boxing.
Others, like George Foreman have been more understanding, so much so that the boxing legend has offered to train Nate Robinson, in whom he sees qualities, for a possible rematch against Paul.
