Mike Tyson's son is making his boxing debut at age 29

29-year-old Amir Tyson, son of the legendary Mike Tyson, is launching his professional boxing career. He has signed a contract with the Misfits Boxing promotion.

During the presentation, Amir challenged Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMour to a fight. The two even exchanged glances near the ring, prompting security to step in.

However, Amir’s debut fight has not yet been scheduled. He is expected to first compete in several warm-up bouts.

Prior to this, Tyson had no professional boxing experience. He worked as a sports commentator and developed his own clothing brand. According to the publication, Mike Tyson had previously discouraged his son from pursuing a boxing career.

Usyk is back in the gym and preparing for the next phase of his career.

Oleksandr Usyk has earned hundreds of millions of dollars over his career, with the bulk of that coming from his most recent fights.
