Mike Tyson Believes Mayweather ‘Kills Conor McGregor’

Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson doesn’t think UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor will do well in his professional boxing debut.

Next month, McGregor will step into a boxing ring for the first time as a professional when he fights Floyd “Money” Mayweather.

Tyson talked about the highly anticipated boxing match between Mayweather and McGregor on a recent edition of the Pardon My Take podcast.

“McGregor is going to get killed boxing,” Tyson said. “I got mad because I thought they were going to use MMA rules against boxing because that’s what it’s all about. Can the boxer beat the MMA guy?

“(McGregor) put his dumb(expletive) in a position where he’s gonna get knocked out because this guy’s been doing this all his life since he was a baby. (McGregor) can’t kick and grab and stuff so he won’t stand much of a chance.”

Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
