An official press release details a new special Tyson vs. Jaws: Rumble on the ReefLegendary boxer Mike Tyson is training to return to the ring with a highly unlikely training partner. Iron Mike will face one of the ocean’s top predators when Shark Week 2020 starts on Sunday, August 9. “
With famous ring announcer Michael Buffer making the shots, these two heavyweights will face off underwater, where Mike Tyson will attempt to score a TKO on the massive shark. And don’t worry, no shark was harmed (or bitten) in the making of this episode. “
“I faced this challenger to overcome the fears that I still deal with in life“Tyson said.”I compare this to overcoming my fear of returning to the ring at age 54. I learned from this experience during Shark Week that whatever intimidates me, I can still face the challenge of overcoming anything that prevents me from fulfilling my life’s mission of reaching my full potential in life and drawing closer to God. .“

Entertainment Weekly recently teased that “Shark Week 2020” will feature 20 hours of brand new programming, “including a special marking the 20th anniversary of Air jaws. “
The site continues: “You will swim the world and visit places like New Zealand, Australia and South Africa to learn how the pandemic blockade, which reduced the number of people who play or work in the oceans, has given sharks the opportunity to reclaim the oceans. “
The official calendar will arrive soon.
