Mike Tyson may have lived the dreams of 1000 men inside the boxing ring but even ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ isn’t immune to a little fight geekery.ย
Tyson, who confirmed that his latest comeback fight is set for May against Evander Holyfield, has been introduced to the ring by the rich tones of Michael Buffer on many an occasion — but has never had the honour of having Michael’s brother Bruce do the same.
Until now, that is.

Buffer has also shared the story of how he met his brother on the episode, detailing how they didn’t become acquainted until much later in life.
“I saw this man come out [on TV],โ Bruce said to BT Sport. โThis very handsome, debonair James Bond style man with an incredible voice.All of a sudden Iโm becoming a fan and then he started putting his name on the TV screen and it said Michael Buffer and I thought โare you kidding me?โ
โWho is this guy? I started getting curious,โ he continued. โI called [promoter] Don Kingโs office and Bob Arumโs and found out [Michael] grew up about 20 miles away from where I grew up in Philadelphia.โ
