Michael Jordan Names the One Sportsman He’s Afraid Of and Will ‘Stay Away From’
Michael Jordan, widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes in history, has faced some of the fiercest competitors in his legendary NBA career. From Magic Johnson to Larry Bird, and later Kobe Bryant, Jordan never shied away from a challenge on the basketball court. However, in a surprising revelation, the six-time NBA champion has admitted that there is one athlete he’s genuinely afraid of and prefers to steer clear of.
In a candid interview, Jordan revealed that Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, is the one sportsman he would rather “stay away from.” Known for his aggressive fighting style, knockout power, and intense persona, Tyson dominated the world of boxing in the late 1980s and early 1990s, striking fear into opponents inside and outside the ring.
“Mike Tyson is just on another level of intimidation,” Jordan said. “I’ve been in some heated battles on the court, but boxing is a different game. I’ll definitely stay away from him.”
Jordan’s remarks aren’t surprising to those familiar with Tyson’s fearsome reputation. Nicknamed “Iron Mike,” Tyson holds the record as the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title at just 20 years old. His imposing physicality and ferocious fighting style earned him a fearsome reputation as one of the most dangerous men in sports history. His success in the ring was matched only by his notoriety, which made him a polarizing figure in the public eye.
Despite their distinct sports, both Jordan and Tyson were icons of their respective fields during the same era, becoming household names and revolutionizing the way people viewed athletes. While Jordan’s rivalry with the likes of Isiah Thomas and Reggie Miller was intense, it seems that the boxing ring is one arena he’s not keen to step into.
Tyson, for his part, has always spoken highly of Jordan’s achievements, often showing admiration for the basketball star. While it’s unlikely the two will ever face off in any kind of competitive setting, the respect between the two champions is clear.
Jordan’s confession is a reminder that, even for the most fearless competitors, there are always others who inspire a sense of awe or even fear. And when it comes to Mike Tyson, it seems his fearsome reputation extends far beyond the boxing world.
