In response, Yachty challenged Davis on whether he saw the fight simply as a money-making opportunity, suggesting that both fighters had agreed to it willingly. Davis doubled down on his position, arguing that Tyson’s inner circle should have never let him take the fight in the first place.

‘The Easton Assassin’ hadn’t fought in just under two-years when he challenged Tyson for the undisputed heavyweight championship in January 1988. The 75-year-old from Cuthbert, Georgia was blasted out by ‘Iron’ Mike in the fourth round of their bout, falling short in his chance to become a two-time heavyweight champion of the world.
