And for his next trick, Mike Tyson will make Jake Paul disappear.
Tyson ran into famed magician David Blaine and his daughter, Dessa, in Las Vegas ahead of his Nov. 15 fight with Paul. The Blaines combined to wow Tyson and his son, Amir, with a few card tricks.
Boxing is a bit like magic in that sleight of hand can be pretty useful. Teasing one type of punch only to throw another is a time-tested strategy for securing a knockout.
Granted, Tyson relied more on brute force than tactical cunning during his prime in the 1980s.
At 58 years old, the former heavyweight champion may need to be a little more crafty in the ring against the much younger Paul. Their 31-year age gap is the biggest ever for a sanctioned bout, and this will be Tyson’s first official fight since 2005.
