Mike Tyson knows a thing or two about big-time prizefights. Throughout his career, he shared the ring with Michael Spinks, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield in memorable pay-per-view events. This weekend, he’ll be back in Sin City for the latest in a long line of championship prizefights to take center stage in the fight capital of the world. On Saturday, Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. will trade blows in an attempt to claim the undisputed welterweight title. From Tyson’s point of view, it’s a 50-50 fight, but he is leaning toward picking one champion to walk away with all four belts.
“I’ve said Crawford, but it’s really a pick ’em fight and I’ll be happy either way,” Tyson told ESNews.
Several sportsbooks feel the same way. DraftKings lists Crawford as a slight -155 favorite and FanDuel has the Omaha native as a -146 favorite. Regardless of Tyson’s predictions or what the sportsbooks are saying, Crawford and Spence Jr. will put it all on the line on July 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
