Tennis and boxing can seem like diametrically opposite sports. And in many respects, they indeed are. In others, however, not so much, and it is a face to face, two sports where footwork is essential and two sports in which power without agility is useless. A true reference and really myth of the ring like the American Mike Tyson has been interviewed on a podcast by French Patrick Mouratoglou. In it, Tyson tells very interesting things about his relationship with the sport of the racket. What has affected his life and how passionate he is today, him and his little daughter Milan.
The world heavyweight champion of his time has spoken in that podcast about his daughter Milan and how tennis has transformed his life, improving it enormously. “Our whole life has changed thanks to tennis,” he begins by saying. “I thought that everything was going well in our lives and that everything we did was to earn money. But there are more important things in life, such as seeing my daughter playing tennis. She is the most important thing in our life right now. I see her improving a lot as a person, in a way that would never have happened if it had not been related to tennis. Tennis has changed our lives, “says Mike Tyson.
Djokovic, his big favorite
The former boxer has attended several tennis events in the United States such as the US Open or the Indian Wells tournament. Beyond his daughter’s tennis relationship, which has also led her to these tournaments, Tyson declares himself a huge fan of Novak Djokovic. “Right now my favorite tennis player is Novak Djokovic. When he is at a good level, I love watching him play. And above all, he is my favorite because of the way he returned to the circuit after his time when he was injured. And he was able to beat people like Rafa Nadal or Roger Federer. It’s something fantastic, Novak is a real fighter, “Tyson ends up saying.
