Boxing legend Mike Tyson is a loyal fan of tennis, loves Novak Djokovic, but Roger Federer is the person Tyson passionately admires.
We will easily see the image of heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson in the stands of the US Open or Indian Wells. Besides boxing, tennis is a sport that Mike “Steel” loves very much.
Two years ago, Tyson said that Novak Djokovic was the king of tennis. He shared: “At the present time, Novak Djokovic is my favorite tennis player. The reason I like watching Nole play is because I like the way he performs when he comes back from injury and defeats players like Nadal or Federer. He is a true warrior.”
However, after Roger Federer had an emotional tennis farewell match last month, the 56-year-old legend changed his tune. He told the Advantage Connors podcast: “Definitely Djokovic and Federer. Talking about Djokovic, he came back strong after his injury. You know, personally I love Djokovic but I’m a huge fan of Federer. Watch the way he moves when he’s at his peak and you’ll know why I’m so passionate.”

However, when asked about Rafael Nadal, Tyson did not skimp on praising the player who won 22 Grand Slam titles.
As for female tennis players, Tyson revealed that he is a big fan of American talent Coco Gauff, the 18-year-old tennis player who reached her first Grand Slam singles final at the French Open earlier this year.
“I think she’s amazing. She has something most people don’t have and now is her time to shine,” Mike Tyson said.
