Video: Don King: After Bermane knocks out Wilder, I’m going to call Mike Tyson see if I can bring him back
“Bernard has given me and idea. He has raised the age bar. At 50 he’s world champion and George Foreman at 46 he knocked out Michael Moore. So when Bermane knocks out the knock out artist Deontay Wilder, then I’m going to call Mike Tyson to see if I can bring him back and give him an opportunity to do what Foreman did. Bernard raised the bar to 50, and Tyson is just 48.”
“This is going to be a great fight so don’t blink. Don’t go up and get any water or anything because this fight is going to be super sensational.’’
