Mike Tyson joined the millions of people grieving the loss of one of the greatest soccer players in history, Pele, who passed away in Brazil this Thursday after spending a month in the hospital receiving care for the cancer disease he was going through, until it eventually took his life.
The legendary boxer remembered that he was 21 years old when he fulfilled his dream of meeting one of the great athletes that the world has ever seen.
“I was 21 years old living the dream meeting one of the greats. He was a warm kind man without a bad thing to say about anyone. Rest in Peace.”
Mike Tyson had recently talked about Pele in his podcast
Recently in an episode of his podcast, Hotboxin with MIke Tyson, the former boxer praised Pele as one of the all time greats in soccer.
Snoop Dogg agreed with the assessment and added that Pele should be talked in the same breath as other historic athletes like Muhammad Ali.
“There’s Ali, Pele. He up there will Ali, man. That’s Pele, man, knock it of”, the rapper expressed.
