Tyson, who was 20 when he became the youngest champion heavyweight of all time, said he would not hesitate to fight again.

Tyson, 55 years old, stated that size does not mean anything.
"Looking at the stats, he's 240. This guy's 220. You can't weight someone's will, desire, or determination."
Tyson sympathized with Usyk's inept handling of Usyk’s southpaw style.
He stated that the movement had "thrown him off." It's almost like dancing, I've been there before. It's impossible to keep up."
