Why was boxer Mike Tyson at Cowboys-Saints game on Sunday?
Add former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson to the lengthy list of Dallas Cowboys fans.
Tyson attended Sunday’s game between the Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints at AT&T Stadium.
Was it is a publicity stunt?
Possibly.
Well, definitely.
Wearing a Micah Parsons No. 11 Cowboys jersey, Tyson was on the field prior to the game with boxer Jake Paul.
Tyson is scheduled to fight Paul as part of a fight card at AT&T Stadium on Nov. 15.
The card will also include a rematch in women’s boxing history, Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano.
The Tyson-Paul fight was rescheduled from earlier this year after Tyson was injured in training.
“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix, and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties,” Tyson said in a press release issued after the original fight was postponed. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, November 15, watch this in-person at AT&T Stadium or live on Netflix.”
Tickets are still available.
