Mike Tyson revealed the five fighters who currently get him “excited about boxing.”
Notably, Tyson’s list was devoid of any heavyweights, focusing instead on the technical boxers and pressure fighters in the lower weight classes.
-
Terence Crawford: Crawford retired as a five-weight world champion after beating Canelo Alvarez last September to become the Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion, thus becoming the first male boxer to become a three-weight undisputed champion.
-
Naoya Inoue (“The Monster”): The undisputed super bantamweight champion from Japan has stopped 11 of his last 13 opponents.
-
Shakur Stevenson: Tyson picked the WBO Junior Welterweight Champion, who has won belts in four weight classes.
-
Keyshawn Davis: The former WBO Lightweight Champion.
-
Jermall Charlo: Rounding out the five is the former WBC Middleweight Champion.
“I like [Shakur] Stevenson, you know. I like Keyshawn Davis, I like [Terence] Crawford. I like [Naoya] Inoue, the Japanese guy, I like him. What’s the Charlo brother, Jermall? He is a real good fighter,” Keyshawn Davis said
