“It’s better than fighting for championships,” Tyson said of the heavyweight show that raised money for various charities. “We are humanists now. We can do something good for the world. We have to do this again. I would definitely do this again. ‘
“I can draw well because I entertained the crowd. The crowd was happy with it. Nobody thought I could do eight laps, but you have to go the distance, that’s boxing. I was very happy to be here, although everyone says I was happy to do eight laps.
“I did this for three minutes. Somehow those two minutes felt like three minutes, ”Tyson admitted. “I’m just glad I got this under my belt and will move on.”
