#Mike Tyson podcast descends into chaos: ‘I would’ve killed him’

“#Mike Tyson podcast descends into chaos: ‘I would’ve killed him’”

Mike Tyson’s podcast with Ryan Garcia descended into chaos after he FaceTimed Gervonta Davis live on the show — prompting a war of words.

Garcia, who recently knocked out Britain’s Luke Campbell but only after being floored, joined Iron Mike’s “Hotboxin” podcast.

There, he discussed wanting to fight Davis next, which led Tyson to call Floyd Mayweather’s protege.

Davis, the 26-year-old who also goes by “Tank,” answered the call and traded words with Garcia, 22, as the lightweight rivals appeared to confirm they would fight each other next.

Davis said. “Mike, he got dropped by a guy that can’t even hit.”

Garcia, mocking Davis’ 5-foot-6 height, responded, “Go ahead and hit me with that shot. Look at him — you gonna need a StairMaster, boy!”

Davis responded, “Mike, Mike! If I would’ve hit him, you know I would’ve killed him after that.”

After Tyson challenged the super-featherweight champion to share the ring with Garcia, Davis said, “I’m gonna fight him next. I’m gonna fight him next.”

The grudge match will need both sides’ promoters to come together and rivalling networks to partner up.

Davis fights on Showtime under Mayweather Promotions while Garcia is Oscar De La Hoya’s new star for Golden Boy, who feature on DAZN.

Mayweather has a storied past with De La Hoya, having defeated him in 2007 selling 2.4 milllion pay-per-views, a record at the time.

They have worked together since, but it did not stop De La Hoya from recently calling out his fellow legend for a rematch.

Garcia recently revealed that he spoke with PBC boss and mysterious boxing advisor Al Haymon — a long-time partner of Mayweather’s.

He told SiriusXM: “I talked to Al Haymon, but not, ‘I’mma fight Gervonta.’ It was just a simple, ‘Good luck, champ.’

“He called my advisor Lupe Valencia.”
