Donald Trump loves idea of Mike Tyson fighting Kamala Harris ahead of US election
Donald Trump has expressed a belief it would be ‘interesting’ to see Mike Tyson fight Kamala Harris in a boxing match ahead of tonight’s US election.
The former president spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania on Monday night as he seeks a return to the White House.
One rally-goer said that Tyson ‘should be put in the ring with Kamala’.
And that’s something Trump seems to be on board with, with the 78-year-old saying: “Mike’s been through a lot, but he could fight, let me tell you that guy could fight.
“Can you imagine Mike… oh he says ‘put Mike in the ring with Kamala.’ That would be interesting.”
Tyson is currently preparing for his boxing comeback.
His last fight was against Roy Jones Jr back in 2020 but, on November 15, he will go up against Jake Paul in a professional bout.
Both Tyson and Paul have made it clear they’re big fans of Trump as tonight’s seismic US election creeps closer.

Speaking last month, Tyson said that Trump was bound to win – and defended the former president, despite his outspoken views.
“Trump is going to win. Yeah, it’d be nice if he wins, yeah,” said the 58-year-old.
“I have my reasons [for wanting him to win]… He is just a good man.
“Listen, I don’t agree with all his s**t. Nobody agrees with all my s**t, but you know, they [are] good people.

“No one is perfect in this world. Everybody got their sh*t, you know.”
And Paul, in a recent video, said he was endorsing Trump – despite being unable to vote because he currently resides in Puerto Rico.
“Trump is labelled a ‘felon,’ but remember, the founders of this country were seen as felons by Britain because they demanded change,” he said in a video uploaded on his social media accounts.
“History shows that sometimes those who challenge the system are the ones who make a difference.”

At another point in the video, he added: “To be frank, I’m not concerned with Donald Trump’s ‘character flaws’ or what he’s done in the past.
“What I’m concerned with is how good a president is he, because that is his job and that’s what’s going to affect the people of this nation.”
Paul also touched on the issue of abortion rights. He said: “Trump isn’t trying to take away rights but to allow each state to decide on this issue.”
Discussing his opinion on transgender people, he added: “If you really cared about women and their opportunities and their lives, I think it would be better to have a president that doesn’t want biological men competing in women’s sports.
“How many opportunities over the last couple of years have been stripped from women who spend their whole entire lives in a sport hoping for opportunities [only] for it to be taken away by a biological male?
“As a future father, you will find me dead before I send my daughter to a school where men can go into her bathroom and where men can compete against her in sports.
“It’s bulls**t. That is taking away a woman’s rights.
“I don’t hate trans people, it’s not an attack against them. I believe adults should dress and act however they want — but you shouldn’t encroach your rights into other areas of delusion, and infringe on other humans’ basic rights.”
