On the most recent Team Torque episode on YouTube, the Williams duo of Logan Sargeant and Alex Albon sat down for a chat about what’s to come after the Japanese GP. Prefacing the first US GP of the season at Miami, Albon revealed to Sargeant that he would love to design the Fort Lauderdale native’s crash helmet. However, when he divulged the details of the design, the American racing ace promptly refused Albon’s services.

Discussing Sargeant‘s helmet design, Albon revealed that he would love to have an Eagle and a Talladega Nights-themed livery for the 23-year-old. The #2 driver hilariously responded by saying, “This is why you would not design my helmet!”

The bald eagle is the emblem of the United States of America, and given Sargeant’s American nationality, the association of the eagle with the young racing driver has become somewhat of a meme in recent times.

As the conversation progressed, any opportunity arose for Sargeant to pitch in for the design of Albon’s helmet. However, he refused to do so, lightheartedly. That being said, while Sargeant won’t be wasting his ideas on his teammate, he surely will be designing his helmet for the Miami GP.

Will Logan Sargeant redeem himself at his home Grand Prix?

Sargeant technically has three home races this year with the Miami GP, the US GP held at Austin, Texas and the Las Vegas GP. However, the Miami GP is his proper home race as he is from the State of Florida.

Naturally, the American-born Williams driver would be looking to put in a decent performance in front of his home fans. But his record at the track is not the best to say the least. During his very first race there last year, he finished rock bottom in 20th, a lap down on his rivals.

Early season form suggests that it will be a difficult outing for Sargeant. The first four races of the season have gone pointless for the American as he has lagged behind his teammate in terms of pace.

What’s more, after the team’s decision at the Australian GP to give his car to Alex Albon after the British-Thai driver damaged his chassis beyond repair shows how the team lacks confidence in his driving abilities. This would surely be a tough pill to swallow for him and would impact his confidence on track negatively.

Fans have been reacting to Terence Crawford’s ring walk

Terence Crawford was accompanied by rapping legend Eminem for his ring walk ahead of his bout against Errol Spence Jr.

On Saturday night, Crawford and Spence Jr battled inside the ring at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the undisputed welterweight crown.

Ahead of the fight, Crawford walked out to Lose Yourself by Eminem and the rapper also joined the ring walk. You can watch the footage below.

Fans were quick to react to the ring walk on social media.

One said: “It was over the second this happened.”

Another tweeted: “How can you lose after that walk out?”

A third fan added: “This gotta be the greatest walkout in boxing history!”

Someone else wrote: “Epic Song and Epic Performance from Crawford.”

Whilst a fifth commented: “Nah I knew Bud was winning this fight the second he came out to this.”

Crawford was the dominant force during the fight as he knocked Spence down in the second round, before flooring his opponent twice in the seventh before referee Harvey Dock stopped the fight at the 2:32 mark of round nine.

After the fight, Crawford said: “I only dreamed of being a world champion.

“I’m an overachiever. Nobody believed in me when I was coming up, but I made everybody a believer. I want to thank Spence and his team because without him none of this would have been possible.”

He added: “It was a good stoppage.

“I was on the verge of coming back with some hard shots. Everybody knows I’m a great finisher. The ref did what he was supposed to do to protect the fighter.”

Whilst Spence said: “He was just throwing the hard jab.

“He was timing with his jab. His timing was just on point. I wasn’t surprised by his speed or his accuracy. It was everything I thought.”

After the victory against Spence, Crawford has now extended his streak of 11 straight knockouts.

He has also knocked out all eight of his opponents since moving up to 147Ibs.

Inspirations can come from anywhere, and it knows no boundaries. Famous personalities play a big role in inspiring and influencing others. Muhammad Ali is one such big name that has probably inspired a number of athletes. WWE’s Grayson Waller is among many of those who have been inspired by the legendary boxer. A lot of fans did not know about this detail until recently when the wrestler admitted it publicly.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani, the WWE wrestler discussed the impact that the legendary boxer has had on his life. Not only was Ali slightly related to the wrestler’s wrestling career, but ended up giving his character a new perspective. And all of this happened just through one infamous picture of the boxing legend.

How did one picture affect Grayson Waller so deeply?

Appearing as a guest on The MMA Hour’s recent interview coverage, Waller talked about several things. In the midst of an interesting conversation, Helwani couldn’t help but ask the wrestler about the big poster on the wall behind him. The poster was a picture of none other than Muhammad Ali victoriously standing atop Sonny Liston.

Despite the infamous ‘phantom punch’ of the 1965 bout, it is one of Ali’s most iconic pictures. Using this visual, Fit Finlay, who acted as a mentor to Waller, taught him a valuable lesson.

The whole boxing world had their eyes fixated on the undisputed welterweight title bout between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. last weekend. Several stars and boxing legends paid a ton of money to watch it ringside. However, one comedian, in particular, couldn’t help but fixate on former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield‘s ear.

Like many other stars, actor, and comedian Marlon Wayans attended the title bout between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. go at each other. He was seated just boxing legend behind Evander Holyfield, which distracted him a lot. Wayans could not stop looking at Holyfield’s bitten ear and made a hilarious post about it on Instagram. “Yooo I’m at the fight. I’m sitting right behind Evander Holyfield…..I must say Mike Tyson F***D THIS N***A EAR UP,” posted Marlon Wayans.

NBA star Damian Lillard and comedian Kevin Hart also could not control their laughter after watching this post by Wayans. Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield’s ear during their fight was one of the most gruesome moments inside the ring. Tyson later confessed that Holyfield’s headbutts were getting the better of him, which made him act irrationally during their bout. Evander Holyfield detested Mike Tyson for a very long time due to this incident.

However, both fighters have buried their hatchet, and Tyson also launched edibles resembling Holyfield’s bitten ear. Both fighters were also supposed to fight in an exhibition bout, but Evander Holyfield has shut down all rumors regarding that.

Evander Hollyfield shuts down potential exhibition bout with Mike Tyson

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield is not in the mood to box Mike Tyson anymore. Tyson came out of his retirement to fight former champion Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout. With Mike Tyson back inside the ring, his long-time opponent and now friend Evander Holyfield revealed he would also love to fight Tyson in the ring again.

While both fighters hated each other in the past, they seem to have buried the hatchet and been great friends ever since. With Tyson out of his retirement, Holyfield wished to have an exhibition bout with Tyson, given the pay was right. The bout, however, failed to materialize, and Evander Holyfield lost his exhibition bout to Vitor Belfort. After that, the former heavyweight champion had no interest in pursuing a trilogy bout against Tyson.

“It’s too late now, we’re all done now. I’ve been retired but no it’s done,” said Holyfield. Both Tyson and Holyfield have not fought since their return. With both fighters in their 50s and enjoying their retirement, it’s no doubt they won’t be going through a third fight ever.

Mike Tyson walked out to “Its Dark an Hell is Hot” by DMX to his fight against South African boxer. The walkout still remains one of the most intimidating walkouts ever.

Renowned boxing legend and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is known for his intimidating demeanor and his ability to knock out his opponents. He is widely considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in history, having won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, with 12 of them being in the first round.

In 1999, Tyson had a legendary boxing match against South African boxer Francois Botha. His walkout to the fight is considered one of the most intimidating in boxing history. Tyson walked out to “It’s Dark and Hell is Hot,” a song by American rapper DMX. T he heavyweight legend was making his return after a 15-month ban following his disqualification from his previous fight against Evander Holyfield.

This fight was a significant achievement in Tyson’s career. It played a crucial role in restoring his status as one of the most intimidating boxers globally, and he continues to be highly regarded in the sport. Tyson is frequently featured in TV programs and documentaries and occasionally appears in the ring.

Mike Tyson talks about living a life of Gratitude

Tyson has encountered both challenges and triumphs in his life. While he made mistakes, he has also taken responsibility for them. His life experiences have given him valuable wisdom. Iron Mike has encountered numerous challenges throughout his life but persevered with his unwavering determination.

He got candid with famous sports journalist Stephen A. Smith on his podcast“Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson” and talked about the support he receives. Tyson said, “I live a life of gratitude now, to the best of my abilities. I know what hard times are like, I understand hard times, and I understand good times.” He discussed life’s difficulties and emphasized that confronting them is the only option available to individuals.

During his career, Tyson faced many controversies and personal issues. However, he has managed to turn his life around and become a successful businessman and motivational speaker. Tyson’s legacy as a true legend in boxing will continue to inspire future generations of boxers.

Heavyweight boxing icon, Mike Tyson, has always had the utmost respect for Muhammad Ali, often praising the three-time world champion for both his abilities inside of the ring and his character outside of it.

However, despite his love for ‘The Greatest’, Tyson has admitted that he never aspired to be like Ali.

Known worldwide as ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’, Tyson has famously shown his emotional side when speaking of Ali, claiming that God was ‘showing off’ when he created the Sportsman of the Century (Sports Illustrated).

But Tyson claims he never wanted to be like his hero because he didn’t come from the same world. Instead he looked more towards the ‘ferocious’ Sonny Liston and Jack Dempsey for inspiration.

“I didn’t want to be like Muhammad Ali, because Muhammad Ali didn’t come from the world that I came from. I came from filth and scum and sewage, so I wanted to be mean like Sonny Liston and Jack Dempsey. I wanted to be ferocious, I wanted to kill you with my stare. I wasn’t like Muhammad Ali, I love and respect Muhammad Ali, but Muhammad Ali is not like me.”

“Much like Tyson, both Liston and Dempsey were feared by other fighters in the division throughout the course of their careers, with Dempsey’s punch power and Liston’s otherworldly aura striking each of their opponents with dread upon stepping into the ring.”

It’s safe to say that Tyson was successful in his attempts to reach the heights that the pair achieved, with many considering him as one of the most terrifying heavyweights of all-time, as well as one of the greatest.

Mike Tyson recently sat down for an exclusive interview with Cigar and Spirit. During the interview, they talked about how Tyson gained a new perspective on life when he lost a $400 million fortune. ‘Kid Dynamite’ revealed how his fortune was the reason behind his misery throughout his career.

During Tyson’s professional career, he earned over $400 million

However, due to money mismanagement and poor financial decisions, he lost all of his fortune. Many fighters and celebrities have spoken about Tyson’s poor financial choices, including Conor McGregor. The Irishman met Tyson and addressed those issues personally.

Tyson was almost unbeatable at the pinnacle of his career. He amassed over 50 wins and 44 knockouts. This sheds light on the vicious mentality of the ‘Baddest Man on Planet‘. Despite his success inside and outside the ring, the New York-born boxer was fighting misery.

Mike Tyson highlights his fight with misery and wealth

Tyson was asked how the ups and downs of life during the interview. However, the youngest heavyweight boxer of all time doesn’t take it negatively. He accepts them as a part and parcel of his life. Every situation, be that good or bad has added a new perspective in his life.

Tyson said, “Many think it was a low when I lost my money, but they don’t know I was miserable most of the time when I had money. People think money equates to happiness, but those people never really had money. I know my journey was all divinely written to lead me here to this path, to this moment of inner peace and self-knowing. That is priceless.“

It is well-documented that Tyson had a rough upbringing. Thus, his motive was to reach a very healthy and sustainable lifestyle. However, in the said pursuit, Tyson realized that it was quite miserable. Since he did not value his money as much as others, he soon spent it all. However, he needed to bounce back from the point of bankruptcy and began his journey as an entrepreneur after his retirement.

Tyson’s journey to earn back his lost fortune

During the interview, Tyson was asked how he s trying to climb back or earn his lost money. The 57-year-old had launched Tyson 2.0 as his new marijuana business. He even wants NBA athletes to use his products.

Tyson said, “It’s high-end boxing equipment for boxing pros, boxing enthusiasts. The motivation comes from a phrase that I live by, “Will-vsSkill.” It’s the ideology that discipline is key to success and growth, and that hard work is more important than raw talent.“

However, during the interview, Tyson opened up about another business venture of his. This business venture is related to boxing apparel. Despite his setbacks, the former heavyweight champion finds different sources to overcome his failure, living up to his former championship status.

Mike Tyson’s Training Regimen and the Myth of Age in Boxing

Mike Tyson, at 57 years old, is defying the odds as he prepares for his upcoming fight against Jake Paul. Despite some skepticism from critics who cite his age and extensive fighting career, Tyson’s training regimen and dedication to the sport are earning him respect in the boxing community.

Throughout his career, Tyson has faced formidable opponents and endured significant blows, including knockouts by the likes of Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. However, age is proving to be just a number for the former heavyweight champion.

One of the key elements of Tyson’s preparation is his adoption of innovative training methods, such as electrical muscular stimulation. This technique involves the use of electrodes to stimulate muscle contractions, leading to increased strength and improved blood flow. Tyson’s commitment to staying in top physical condition is evident in his willingness to explore new avenues for enhancing his performance.

Moreover, Tyson’s experience in the ring provides him with invaluable knowledge and strategic insight that cannot be underestimated. Despite his age, Tyson’s skill and technique remain formidable, making him a formidable opponent for any challenger.

The discussion surrounding Tyson’s age and ability to compete at the highest level highlights the misconceptions about aging in sports. While it is true that age can impact an athlete’s recovery and resilience to injury, Tyson’s determination and discipline are proving that age should not be a limiting factor in pursuit of athletic excellence.

Furthermore, Tyson’s journey serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the human body. Through proper training and dedication, athletes can continue to defy expectations and push the boundaries of what is considered possible.

As Tyson continues to train for his upcoming bout, the boxing world eagerly awaits the opportunity to witness his return to the ring. Whether he emerges victorious or not, Tyson’s perseverance and commitment to his craft serve as an inspiration to athletes of all ages.

In conclusion, Mike Tyson’s training regimen and his upcoming fight against Jake Paul exemplify the enduring spirit of competition and the power of determination. Age may be a factor, but it is not an insurmountable obstacle for those who are willing to put in the work and defy expectations.

Title: “Tyson vs. Paul Exhibition Fight: A Clash of Legends and Controversy”

The highly anticipated exhibition fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTube sensation Jake Paul has sparked widespread discussion and debate among sports enthusiasts and casual observers alike. As the countdown to the bout continues, opinions are sharply divided on the legitimacy of the matchup, the potential outcomes, and the implications for both fighters.

On one hand, supporters of the event point to Tyson’s storied career and enduring fighting spirit, highlighting his impressive skills even at the age of 57. Despite concerns about his advancing age, Tyson remains confident in his abilities, dismissing any notion of being past his prime. His assertion that the fight will be a real one, deviating from conventional exhibition rules, adds an intriguing twist to the narrative.

However, detractors voice their apprehensions about the risks involved for Tyson, given his age and past struggles with physical and mental health issues. Figures like David Benovitz and Mauricio Sulan of the WBC express concerns about Tyson’s well-being, emphasizing the need for caution and medical oversight.

Meanwhile, Jake Paul exudes confidence in his chances against the legendary fighter, citing his youth, speed, and ability to take punches. Despite predictions from boxing luminaries like Julio Caesar Chavez Jr., who favor Tyson, Paul remains undeterred, describing the fight as evenly balanced and outlining his strengths as a competitor.

The buildup to the fight has also seen various promotional tactics employed, with Paul strategically involving other celebrities like rapper Lil Pump and showcasing training footage to drum up excitement and anticipation. However, skeptics like Paul Pierce question the authenticity of the event, likening it to a scripted wrestling match.

As the date of the fight draws nearer, the buzz surrounding Tyson vs. Paul only continues to grow, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome of this clash between two vastly different generations of fighters. Regardless of the final result, one thing is certain: this exhibition bout has captivated audiences and sparked conversations about the nature of boxing, celebrity matchups, and the enduring legacy of legends like Mike Tyson.

The clash between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has sparked widespread interest across the boxing world, as two very different personas collide in a battle of experience versus youth, tradition versus innovation. Tyson, the former World Heavyweight Champion, embodies the old guard of boxing, while Paul, a social media sensation turned boxer, represents the new wave of celebrity-driven sports entertainment.

Their interactions leading up to the fight have been nothing short of tumultuous, with both fighters engaging in heated exchanges on social media and through various public appearances. Paul, known for his provocative antics, has continuously taunted Tyson, even going as far as mimicking iconic training scenes from the Rocky movies, a move that garnered both attention and criticism.

Tyson, on the other hand, has remained relatively composed, expressing confidence in his abilities while subtly dismissing Paul’s antics. His stoic demeanor and unwavering focus on the upcoming bout have only served to heighten the anticipation surrounding the fight, as fans eagerly await the clash of these two polarizing figures.

Despite their differences, both fighters share a common goal: victory. For Tyson, a win would solidify his status as one of the greatest boxers of all time, while for Paul, it would validate his transition from internet personality to legitimate athlete. The stakes are high, and the outcome of the fight will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for both men’s careers.

As the date of the fight draws nearer, tensions continue to rise, with fans and pundits alike speculating on who will emerge victorious. Will Tyson’s experience and skill prevail, or will Paul’s youth and unorthodox training methods prove to be the deciding factor? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: the clash between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is set to be a spectacle unlike any other, captivating audiences around the world and leaving a lasting impact on the world of boxing.
