Riddick Bowe Calls Out Mike Tyson For 10 Round War! Ten Million Dollars Winner Take All!
By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent
In a Real Combat Media Boxing International exclusive, former World Heavyweight champion Riddick ‘Big Daddy’ Bowe, in a new interview, is calling out for World Heavyweight champion Iron Mike Tyson for a real fight, 10 rounds of war.
The stakes ex-world champion Bowe proposes are a ten million dollar purse, winner takes all.
It would appear exhibitions are not on the menu for Bowe, age 52, 43-1 with 33 knockouts, Tampa, Florida. Bowe’s challenge is decidedly different road then the paperweight exhibition proposals given to Tyson by Sonny Boy Williams, Evander Holyfield, Shannon Briggs, James Toney, and others. The World Boxing Council has stated it will rerank Tyson if he wins a real fight, or the person who beats him in a real fight. That being the case, the Riddick Bowe challenge is the most dangerous threat yet put on the table for Tyson thus far during the coronavirus pandemic.
Bowe is not talking charity in the interview. Tyson, age 54, 50-6 with 44 knockouts, Henderson, Nevada, living in the shadows of nearby Las Vegas, could be looking the MGM Grand in the face if he decides to return and the television networks need a place to stage the comeback. Bowe, who skills are considerable, is not to be considered champ change for Iron Mike.
Robert B: “What’s happening champ. Make your statement and callout.”
Riddick Bowe: “Yo. Iron Mike Tyson. This is your boy from Brownsville, Riddick Big Daddy Bowe. You and I should be fighting a real fight, not you fighting an exhibition with Evander Holyfield, Shannon Briggs or James Toney.”
Robert B: “Really? You want Iron Mike Tyson right now? You can beat him?”
Riddick Bowe: “I’m gonna do whatever I can (have to) to win. I’m a professional. My left hand is impeccable. I hit harder than Buster Douglas (who knocked Mike Tyson out).”
Robert B: “You are not afraid of Iron Mike Tyson? Is Iron Mike Afraid of you? Do you have the style and ability to beat him?”
Riddick Bowe: “Other guys are afraid of Mike Tyson. Not me. I whipped Evander Holyfield twice, three times as far as I’m concerned, and Evander Holyfield beat Mike Tyson twice. Styles make fights. Where Iron Mike Tyson is concerned, I have the recipe to win. I don’t think Mike is afraid of me (however) my boxing style is better than his.”
Robert B: “What is your weight now?”
Riddick Bowe: “I currently weight 275 pounds. If I am at (can get down to) 250 pounds, Mike Tyson is (will be) in trouble.”
Robert B: “Like many other people, you have seen Mike Tyson’s super cool YouTube video clip at home training, throwing jabs, and moving up and down. Was that good, or can you do better?”
Riddick Bowe: “The recently posted YouTube video clip of Mike Tyson is an illusion. I have the experience to stop him (avoid his swings), get away from him, and land left hands and right hands and uppercuts on him.”
Robert B: “Will you be ready for a 10 rounder with Mike if he accepts the challenge?”
Riddick Bowe: “I’m gonna be ready. A 10 round heavyweight bout is better than an exhibition. A ten round heavyweight bout is what boxing fans want to see. If that’s what they want (the boxing public), absolutely. If they want 10 rounds for real, I will (be the one to) do it.”
Robert B: “What are the stakes behind your challenge with Iron Mike Tyson?”
Riddick Bowe: “Ten million dollars, winner take all. Yes! Absolutely! (That’s what I want).”
Robert B: “Will Iron Mike go the 10 round distance with you, or will Mike go sooner (get knocked out or stopped)?”
Riddick Bowe: “Mike is gonna get in the first four or five rounds. Once I get past that, he’s done. If I fight with him anywhere past the fifth round, I will knock Iron Mike out in round six, round even or round eight. I am gonna knock Mike the f#*k out, and send him back to where he came from.”
Robert B: “Is not Mike Tyson’s physique much smaller than you?”
Riddick Bowe: “Mike’s height does not matter. He has muscles, he’s aggressive, and he’s built like a brick.”
Robert B: “Champ, anything you would like to say to Iron Mike?”
Riddick Bowe: “Tell Mike if he gets my name out of his mouth, I’ll get my foot out of his ass! I have been training for three months at a gym in Tampa, Florida, where I currently work as a boxing coach.”
Robert B: “Champ, will you fight anybody?”
Riddick Bowe: “Absolutely! I will fight Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Shannon Briggs, James Toney, and anybody else.”
Robert B: “Heavyweight Sherman Williams of The Bahamas has been looking for a fight.”
Riddick Bowe: “I will dust Sherman Williams’ junky ass off. Fight a dude from The Bahamas? That’s crazy.”
