Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson recently sat down with highly ranked lightweight Ryan Garcia to tape an episode of his Hot Boxin’ podcast. During that conversation, Garcia asked Tyson if there was anyone throughout history he would want to fight.
Garcia, surely expecting an answer limited to boxing history, got an altogether different kind of response.
“Achilles” answered Tyson, referring to the ancient Greek warrior who was prominently featured in Homer’s Iliad.
“He’s the greatest warrior ever,” explained Tyson, who also announced that he’s hoping to visit Achilles’ tomb in Greece to pay his respects.
