Mike Tyson<\/a> linked up with IShowSpeed<\/a> during the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> Finals and suggested that he participate in a boxing match against Ray J<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As seen in the clip shared by Tyson below, the two greeted one another, and Speed said he would love to be trained as a boxer by Tyson one day.<\/p>\n

“I wanna become a fighter,” Speed said, before showing off some shadow boxing.<\/p>\n

“We’ll work it out, we’ll work it out,” said Tyson. “Let’s get you and Ray J in the ring.”<\/p>\n

Speed asked for clarification on whether he meant Ray J the singer-songwriter, which Tyson confirmed.<\/p>\n

“You think you can handle him?” Tyson asked.<\/p>\n

“Of course,” Speed replied with a smile.<\/p>\n

While it might sound like a strange suggestion, Ray J made his boxing debut<\/a> earlier this year against Supa Hot Fire. The amateur bout, which was hosted by Adin Ross’s Brand Risk Promotions, ended with Ray J getting knocked out in the second round. He’s also scheduled to fight former actor Orlando Brown<\/a>, best known for starring on That’s So Raven<\/em> and The Jamie Foxx Show<\/em>, in August.<\/p>\n

IShowSpeed, meanwhile, has been streaming throughout the World Cup, and performed his song “Champions”<\/a> as part of the closing ceremony. Other performers at the ceremony included Robbie Williams, Nicole Scherzinger and Italian singer Laura Pausini, who shared the stage before Post Malone<\/a> performed “Wow.” The halftime show, meanwhile, was headlined by Madonna, while other performers included BTS, Justin Bieber, Shakira, and Burna Boy.<\/p>\n

Speed was clearly thrilled with the results of the finals, too, because Spain was able to come out on top and beat Lionel Messi<\/a> and Argentina<\/a> from winning back-to-back FIFA World Cup Finals. Ahead of the game, he shared a passionate message to 19-year-old Spanish infielder Lamine Yamal<\/a>, asking him to “save me from disaster.”<\/p>\n

“Save me from disaster,” he said. “If Messi wins the World Cup again, I don’t know what I can say as a Ronaldo fan. I can’t say anything. I can’t say nothing. So, Lamine Yamal, save us Ronaldo fans.”<\/p>\n
