Mike Tyson is considered one of the most legendary boxers in the history of professional boxing. He was almost infallible during his time as a boxer and it’s not hard to see why. While he was part of WWE programming during the late 90s, he became a major name there too.
The boxer is also a very imposing figure and not many people have the guts to actually make fun of him, especially knowing just how deadly Tyson can truly be.

Known for his music and Grammy-winning hits, over the past few years, Drake has also earned the reputation of bringing somewhat bad luck to the sports stars he places his bets on. While it seemed ineffective in the case of the Kansas City Chiefs, whom the rapper bet $1.15 million on, Francis Ngannou does not seem to have the same luck as the football team.

Dana White has come under fire for several controversies over the years. The most recent backlash was for defending UFC fighter Sean Strickland’s “freedom of speech” in anti-lgbtq+ comments.
While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, the titular host asked White about the controversy as he has also recently faced backlash over comments made by NFL star Aaron Rodgers.
“When I said I didn’t believe in 95% of what he said, I was talking about 95% of what he said up there,” White said on the ESPN show about Strickland’s comments during the press conference earlier this year. “Obviously, the two girls that were in the co-main event, he said horrible things about them, which there’s no need for that. They’ve never done anything to him. But this is what he does.”
He continued, “At the end of the day, he’s entitled to his own opinion...
