'Iron Mike' has now supported his old friend to be a great success after he had previously claimed that he is the best that the sport could happen.
“I think he will do well,” Tyson told Sports Illustrated.
“He will not let the boxers benefit from him.
“They all need that thing that they all need now, a trust fund.
“They will manipulate you.”
Dana White maps his plan for boxing
White's revolutionary plans for boxing are confronted with mixed reactions from the fans.
Yet he intends to push ahead with his vision after transforming the UFC into a multi-billion dollar company.
“Ah, where do you start?” Witte said shortly after announcing his boxing movement.
“Probably you know, [making] The best fight the best, I would start there.
“Listen, my model is very different. Turki has things that he has mandatory for the next 18 months …
“I want to split this sport and build from the ground as we did with the UFC, so I'm on a different path.”
